Does the UK need a Mary Poppins?

Or a Nanny Mcphee?

How about a Nanny Ogg?

Or do we go nuclear and need a Grandma Weatherwax?

Politically speaking of course!

YABU to call Granny a Grandma Grin

I actually think Ridcully, with Lancre's witches keeping a careful eye. Would be a better pairing than Johnson and SAGE!

I'm fairly sure that's Mistress Weatherwax to you.
And the answer is yes. And it needs to happen yesterday.

I am very respectful to the Mistress Weatherwax. . . Tiffany?! Are you around? You could be most useful! Or could we have the cheese please? As our Prime Minister. . .

Not Tiffany! (As much as I love her). We'll be overrun with Feegles. Mistress Weatherwax all the way.

Mistress Weatherwax was the bees knees and every other part of the bee's anatomy.

I think feegles could be veerah useful in the current situation, if ye ken'?

Granny Weatherwax in charge of overall strategy and Vimes in charge of day to day logistics would be a pretty unbeatable combination.

Sam Vimes for PM if you ask me. Although sometimes I think we could really do with Havelock Vetinari for a month or two, the virus wouldn't stand a chance.

Julie Andrews or HM The Queen, because both of them are sensible and stand no nonsense!

There's a lot to be said for a responsible and intelligent patrician about now. The Low King would also be an improvement.

@mbosnz I don’t think you mean “gunning for” Michelle Obama, at least I hope you don’t.

The rule breaking would certainly stop pretty sharpish with Vetinari in charge.
