58 yo woman plots to overthrow the government

[shakingmytambourineatyou]

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?

@ArabellaScott

Oh, sorry, the Latin. Very good! No idea what it means probably for the best, but that's sort of the point of Latin, as I understand it!

Day of the wrathful/angry vipers.

Dies viperarum iracundarum

Could we have a translation please for the less educated among us? I think it’s something about passionate female snakes ?????

Oops x posted

I’m in. Have the DMs and waterproofs. Anyone claimed exams or HE yet? Or Disabilities? Assume we won’t need minister for women with a full female government?

@ArabellaScott

Voting Tory hasn't happened yet in this house, however I am hoping Liz Truss will defect and join us.

Are we doing the Other Place, too, or can they be trusted to work with the MN insurrection?

Lastly I'm hearing there may be some leftover cheese and wine at no 10, bags me the manchego.

I think the other place can be on a warning. Bishops revolt has been quite useful in last few years. Maybe cancel nap time for them and no more hereditary peers?

Not to overthink this but would Leeds Spinners indulge some craftivism with banners for Dies viperarum iracundarum ?

The banner (on a teatowel) for anyone who hasn't seen the fabulous original:

Could there be a Peppa Pig somewhere in the banner?

Count me in. I have a loud voice and I'm not afraid to use it. Also have a barky spaniel whose tail is a deadly weapon.

Cancelling naps? Idk, I think that sounds like a Very Bad Idea.

Only in the other place. Office naps are mandatory. Bring in siestas!

Can I join? Will need to bring along my donut cushion, mind. And breast pump.

We might need a minister for men though. Let’s make sure we get one that’s easy on the eye though, we don’t want any of those crazy “menomists”, they really dont look after themselves and nobody wants to have to look at an unattractive man at work do they?

@loislovesstewie raises an important point. I hear there's a generous budget for interior design.

Definitely a ruling needs to be made on beards.

Interior design? We can ebay/freecycle it all to fuck, get any extra bits in IKEA and spend the extra money on housing people who actually need it instead.

And skinny jeans with no socks. In fact I think I should be minister for fashion. Despite being a slightly chubby 50 year old who mostly dresses for comfort not speed I do feel fully qualified to judge what other people wear

And trackie bottoms with boxers pulled up 6 inches above the waist

Loving the idea of a Ministry of Compost.

Our flag needs a pombear on it. And to quote the great Scottishmummy some "creepy wee brackets" []

I'm in. Not sure anyone is covering the W bit of DWP yet? Don't mind having a bash at employment but will need lots of help and I don't do Mondays.

Better maternity pay, 4 day weeks as standard and sort out apprenticeships would be a start.

I’m doing paperwork at home today. Just popped out locally in track suit bottoms no socks and a very old hoodie with a bleach stain. I hereby disqualify myself from Style Council/Ministry.

I have covid but I can still come right?

Asking as you promise to lick everyone!

What happened to 'be kind'?

I do my best!

Double3xposure, can we have more widepread allotment provision please? I've been waiting 12 years for one, and my rake and hoe are gathering dust in the pantry....

No scruffy beards. That’s all I want! They have to be a health and safety issue with food in them…

Might I suggest employing a lightly oiled Aiden Turner or Chris Hemsworth as the eye candy Minister for Men?

@TheDrsDocMartens
Time for a Public Health campaign based on “The Twits”?
