58 yo woman plots to overthrow the government

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?

I’ll chip in, I’m almost 60 and no longer have any flying fucks to give. I’ll bring cake, encouragement and lots of ‘seriously, you expect me to believe you dumb Dom and Boris?’ eye rolling, side eye and I’m disappointed in you sighing.

@Ohdofuckoffcovid

I have covid but I can still come right? Wink
Only to the after party.

I've got spare dog walking boots, waterproof jackets and those hand/footwarmer things you get for ski-ing.

And of course I'll be bringing the dog, who is small and can be my furry hot water bottle

I'd like to be Foreign Secretary next please

I love a game of coach bingo, you can’t beat it. I’m in if this can be organised.

I’ll put my hat in the ring for minister of culture. I’m assuming if Nadine can gain that title anyone is in with a chance.

RedSquirrelsAreAwesome · 07/12/2021 21:52

Oh and don’t worry about booze there is plenty of cut priced stuff in the house of parliaments bars. Just got to find a way to get in there 🤔

DameCelia · 07/12/2021 21:55

Could we have a short break for tea and cake before storming Whitehall? I'm better if my blood sugar doesn't fall too low.

ChotaPeg · 07/12/2021 21:56

I'll bring the cheese and wine.

Can we check out toilet locations before setting off?

My bladders not as good as it was Blush

CruellaDeVilla · 07/12/2021 21:58

Can I be minister for

Sorting out a reversal of Brexit

Prosecuting every MP who is corrupt (might be easier to lock them all up and let them out as they’re proven innocent?)

Making civil servants do some bloody work

I don't have Doc Martens but I have a pair of Caterpillar boots. Can I still join you? I also have a tribe of 6 3/4 cats (one only has 3 legs) who are very sneaky and like sabotaging people by doing things like lying on the stairs in the dark so you nearly fall down and break your neck. They'll make a good secret weapon. One also will run full pelt after his toy, not paying attention to anyone or anything in his way, might be handy to break open doors or bowl over Boris

CruellaDeVilla · 07/12/2021 21:59

I can probably sort out the water companies on the side too?

CruellaDeVilla · 07/12/2021 22:00

But I’m only joining you if there’s comfy seating

That made me spit my coffee out lol.

BeaMends · 07/12/2021 22:03

Now we are getting targeted by Piers Morgan who tweeted all feminists have given up

Since when did anyone take any notice of what he says?

SlashBeef · 07/12/2021 22:04

I'm absolutely up for this.

OhDear2200 · 07/12/2021 22:05

@willstarttomorrow Flowers for all your hard work

minou123 · 07/12/2021 22:06

Can I come?

I have wind up torches and trivial pursuit for times when there is a lull in the revolution.

Can I be head of the Civil Service, I've had a hard day at work and revenge would be good.

OhDear2200 · 07/12/2021 22:11

Yep, I’m sick of how horrible those dick heads in power are.

I’ll come and frown at them. I’ll sacrifice my smooth skin for the cause. I might also throw in a ‘tut’ and a slow shake of my head.

OhDear2200 · 07/12/2021 22:12

@shakingmytambourineatyou you can only have a flag that is on a pole that you hold to your side. As the flag flutters in the wind.

Kenwouldmixitup · 07/12/2021 22:13

Soup anyone

GroggyLegs · 07/12/2021 22:13

News at 10 is giving me the rage. I would very much like to come and join the revolution, and tell Boris I think he's a lying, smirking twat to his face, rather than shouting it at the TV while DH gives me side eye.

I don't need a role, I've got enough going on at home, but I have several hi-viz to contribute for the photo-ops, as I end up unintentionally stealing one everytime I'm at work Blush

Yes and I'm willing to strain my eyeballs with excessive rolling.

True martyrs to the cause!

SlatternIsMyMiddleName · 07/12/2021 22:15

Can I have Secretary of State for Northern Ireland please.

First thing I will do is black list every bastarding company that now refuses to deliver to us, despite happily taking our money for years.

I can bring Tayto cheese and onion crisps.

PieMistee · 07/12/2021 22:16

I have around 14 kids by 5ish blokes. I am pretty overweight, dress like I am about 4 and did it "all by myself". I can back comb my hair and I am really good at being offensive, especially racist. I'm really good at choosing all my policies on what some spin doctor tells me will be popular with the daily mail readers. Pleassssse can I be leader? I can also waffle and talk about kids TV character that has fuck all to do with anything. I can impregnate you if that will help?
