Right. I am now so sick of just about everything, the plots, the lies, the policies, that I am thinking of nipping down south (if there are any trains/tubes) and overthrowing the government. What will I need? Should I take sandwiches?

Maybe there will still be nibbles left from all the parties?

I'm living down south, I'll meet you there and bring the sandwiches. Dont want them getting squashed on the journey.

I’d take a flask, the water down there is rubbish.

PlinkPlankPlunk · 07/12/2021 20:22

I’d like to come along and can provide ready mixed G and Ts in a variety of bottles and tupperwares. They are all shitheads, the lot of them

You will need a brass neck, the ability to lie through your teeth and a dressing up box with police uniform and a high viz jacket for photo opportunities.

doubt you would need too much, leave common sense behind and initially go in with a weird off the wall concept that is only loosely aligned to any sort of reality.
food though is definitely in order, along with a puppy...no one can resist a puppy.

I'm in. Can I organise the secret santas? And we all need to disguise so Christmas jumpers please.

I saw the thread title and thought "oh god, what's my mother up now??!" before remembering she's in her 60s (though still totally capable of doing this)

Ooh. Some good support and ideas already. I might take a flag to wave. That'll show 'em .

Cash so you can hire peppa pig world for their Covid-safe Christmas party and change locks while they’re gone? Might even entice Dave Cameron if pigs are involved…

Your mother sounds like my kind of woman

Ooh I'll come along! 34 year old teacher sick to death of the government changing the goalposts in education and having no actual clue!

Can I be education secretary please??

MushroomHunter · 07/12/2021 20:27

Yes do it! Now we are getting targeted by Piers Morgan who tweeted all feminists have given up. Or something to that affect.

I despair at today’s government.

Bontanics · 07/12/2021 20:28

Don't forget your head torch

Puppymania · 07/12/2021 20:28

I was thinking earlier that this 53 year old needs a new career in politics, they are a shower of shite in charge. I'm booking my ticket and I coming down South to join the revolution. I'll bring tea and cakes.

Letsallscreamatthesistene · 07/12/2021 20:28

Wrap up. Its pretty windy and quite rainy down here this evening

Definitely take your tambourine with you. It can only help.
WannabeMathematician · 07/12/2021 20:29

I’m not for revolution but if you are coming down south do remember to bring a super thick coat. Even though the weather is warmer down here it feels colder and you don’t want to catch a chill. This is why it might seem all southerners are soft when it comes to the weather.

onanotherday · 07/12/2021 20:29

I'm in, 57 and still got some fight in me....

I do honestly think that amongst just the people who have responded already, that we could do a better job.

And something to sit on. We're not 25 yo revolutionaries who can sit on the cold ground while chained to something. A nice cushion at least.
