to think everyone who claims benefits of any sort or who lives in Derby....

[Owllady]

..should go and spit and the Osborne and Little Wallpaper and fabric in John Lewis tomorrow

It could be a terribly middle class demonstration, apart from the spitting

I might swear at it

[Dawndonna]

That's the best idea I've heard in a long time!
Genius!

[WillowB]

We don't have a JL in Derby sadly. But I would if we did

[LadyMaryQuiteContrary]

[confused[ Whatever has JL done? (the nearest one is in Nottingham)

[LadyMaryQuiteContrary]

Oops.

[Owllady]

John Lewis have nothing to do with this, they just sell the product

[StealthPolarBear]

Hang on they sell political wallpaper? I'm confused.
I quite agree the state should not fund killers' lifestyles (well other than at her majesty's pleasure). But I suspect that's not what he meant.

[LadyMaryQuiteContrary]

You need to rethink your campaign, me thinks.

[TotemPole]

Politicians are vile using this case as a benefit bashing tool.

[LadyMaryQuiteContrary]

They are clutching at anything to try and get their sick point across. Roll on the next general election.

[Molehillmountain]

I had no idea of the connection! I won't spit on it all but I won't buy it any more. Actually, we only have a bit of Osborne and little wall paper because of a generous allowance from an insurance claim but I am now feeling a little bit sick looking at it. I feel as if we've somehow unwittingly supported this government.

[Molehillmountain]

Ooh-just thought-we're doing building work in the Osborne and little room soon and will be redecorating. Anyone want to come over and spit on our wallpaper and write anti Osborne statements on all the flowers before we knock the wall down?

[ReturnOfEmeraldGreen]

Me! Are you in the Midlands? I can bring cake and Prosecco!

[Molehillmountain]

Alas no-but the campaign budget will fund travel, surely?

[ReturnOfEmeraldGreen]

Well, let's see. If not, please could you write 'Fuck off Gideon' in v big letters for me? Thanks in advance

[Molehillmountain]

I might just write it now-a bit gutlessly on a bit that doesn't show and in small letters-but it's symbolic, yes? There must be several hundred flowers to write on on behalf of protesting mumsnetters!

[Owllady]

Molehill :o I would love to join in. I can bring pork pie

[ConferencePear]

There is a shop in Derby that sells Osborne & Little. I better not name them.

[HoHoHoNoYouDont]

This is a great advert for them. I'd never heard of them before and have just looked at their website. They might actually make a sale from it!

[SolidGoldBrass]

What's fecking wallpaper got to do with benefits?

[Owllady]

it's Gideons family business

[JamNan]

John Lewis is a good company to work for and they treat their workers fairly. Best not to drag them into it.

I think I'd like to spit directly at the little cunt. Right in his face!

[Molehillmountain]

Pork Pie and protest! Fab! I should mention now that I will (at least) do cheese and pineapple on sticks and a pavlova.

[ExcuseTypos]

Maybe we could go and tear it a bit as I don't fancy spitting.

OR how about writing "Osborne is a massive cock" all over it?

[Owllady]

yes we could draw penis' in dressmakers chalk on the fabrics

[Molehillmountain]

All forms of expression are acceptable on my soon to be ex Osborne and little wallpaper
