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?

@peaceanddove

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

I googled them. Can I put in a request for someone a bit older and craggier? Maybe even with a beard. That will maybe help to keep some of us old dears pepped up give a bit of gravitas to the role.

Aren’t they in government now?

Update just got back from London,(dummy run) all went well I had phoned DH to pick me up from the local train station. I was sitting on a wall opposite the station with my two old carrier bags, got to save the environment , had my finger less gloves on in order that I could use my phone. I was wearing DH old parker ok its seen better days but it did the job.
I started to pull out my clean underwear, thick socks etc that I had taken to London for back up was looking for my thick mittens. I was approached by Transport Police and asked to move on otherwise I would get arrested under the Vagrancy Act. Clearly they thought I was a bag lady. So please can I appeal to the new housing minister to get all the homeless in homes asap and never ever let anybody ever be made to be judged again for their circumstances. Real Policies for real people viva the revolution

"Can i come? I'd love to be Culture secretary, i can knit so kinda artistic..

Plus i'm tall, so will be useful for cleaning the No. 10 cobwebs and shit on top of the cabinet!"

@Jellykat,I'll job share with you. Not the cleaning bit but otherwise we can skill share. You teach me knitting and I'll show you what I know about rug making.

I can also make a mean biscuit for sharing.

As Home Secretary I'm banning objectifying the office men. Sorry but it's not comme il faux. Even though beards

Dies viperarum iracundarum

Vipers they go in the house? Life of Brian reference there. In case you missed it.

A mumsnetter's place is in the houses of parliament

Oh and @Double3xposure can we get rooftop and vertical gardening everywhere urban?

Ta.

Ooh!
Seconding the vertical planting a roof gardens.

Can I do that?

No, honestly I promise I won't lear at the pretty men. I'll respect their opinion and make them feel valued, or whatever........

@MrsTerryPratchett

Oh and *@Double3xposure* can we get rooftop and vertical gardening everywhere urban?

Ta.

Yes of course @MrsTerryPratchett. I’m spending all the money you have saved from criminal justice.

Excellent, the system works.

Living walls and lots of planting on verges rather than endless concrete and barriers. Better for surface water.

Wildlife tunnels and bridges to reduce roadkill.

Consistent and properly managed recycling programmes with investment and tax breaks for firms which innovate and discover how to expand recycling of the things that go into landfill.

Anyone who drops litter has to spend two weeks litter picking. Anyone who fly tips gets severe penalties.

Garnish the wages, remove passports and withdraw the driving licences of those who refuse to pay child maintenance and support the children they helped create.

You're on the ball BackBackBack! Definitely reckon you should have a high profile position once we've succeeded in our quest!

MuthaFunka61 I'd be delighted to job share! Always wanted to make rugs as it happens (plus i love biscuits and hate cooking)

Don’t be ridiculous it’s complimenting them. Plus it weeds out the ones who can’t take a joke God you can’t say anything these days, political correctness gone mad I tell you

Can we ban the Daily Mail?

political correctness gone mad I tell you

Surely the correct spelling is 'gorn mad'. For your file you understand

We've got a deal

I'd like to join the environmental branch and be minister of repair and craft skills. Including patching old clothes, fixing electricals, weaving baskets and fences, mending broken hearts and minds, making pinch pots, cobbling shoes, fixing lost teddies, recycling anything and everything.

There will be much less plastic junk as it will all be repurposed into building blocks for community garden kitchens which will have endless pots of veg soup for anyone who is hungry. (In the style of stone soup).

I will ready my steel toe caps and whittling knife to deal with the wastrels who have frittered away our essential services

Ooh coming back to this thread as I have just wondered whether anyone's going to take on social housing? We need a house building programme, with housing which is fit for purpose, decent size garden space so that children have room to play, community gardens/parks in the centre of streets to encourage socialising and children playing out.

Penalties for anti-social behaviour. Good public transport links to get people out of cars and improve air quality. Brilliant schools so that worrying about catchment areas becomes a thing of the past. An "every child matters" commitment so that children with SEND or who require additional support will get it. Respite care and support for families who need it. Adapted homes for families and people who need living aids or who have additional mobility requirements.

Loving all the policies! Especially vertical gardens, green roofs, and the Ministry of Compost.

Re transport, can we have safe cycling lanes everywhere like in the Netherlands please? I.e. separated out properly from car carriageways so they are safe for kids and old folk to use (and not dominated by MAMILs)?

'By the way what is our party logo ? Or should we have a flag instead

Vipers, obvs.

Dies viperarum iracundarum'

Bravo @EmbarrassingHadrosaurus! 👏👏

Not a flag! A line of jaunty bunting, surely?

I think I’m a bit late to the party, but I’d be up for dealing with the mental health crisis and SEN side of things. If the last 10 years have taught me anything it’s that I could do a better job that the current shit shower.

Also I have iced mince pies and chocolate covered brandy snaps to offer. 👍

I was about to google the other word as thought it was something clever
