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?

Oh, good, it's about time someone put Mumsnet in charge.

I'll stand at the door of No. 10 and remind everyone to take their shoes off as they come in.

BeaMends · 07/12/2021 22:58

If I come can I take over from my constituency MP please? I've been trying to get rid of Nadine Dorries for years.

Velvian · 07/12/2021 22:58

I've been waiting for the revolution, count me in!

Velvian · 07/12/2021 22:59

Only if you can be arsed to answer the door @ArabellaScottGrin

ArabellaScott · 07/12/2021 23:06

Surely we have people to do that, Velvian?

@SlatternIsMyMiddleName

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.

Fuck me you're brave. I grew up in NI and unless you're planning to put every MLA and a fair chunk of the population on a raft and pushing them out to the Atlantic no one needs that kind of shit. Yes to the Tayto (yellow not blue!)
TheDogsMother · 07/12/2021 23:07

Yes I'm definitely in but can we avoid doing it when Masterchef is on ?

Athenajm80 · 07/12/2021 23:11

Oh I forgot, I am very good at disparaging looks and disappointed tutting. I am also quite good at making anything an innuendo but not sure if that will be much help 😜

Maggiesgirl · 07/12/2021 23:16

I'm in. Already down south, but west a bit. ( can I get a wheelchair on a tube?)

I could clear the halls in Westminster in one quick run through, balance a stick on each arm of my chair and take them all out at the waist as I go.

madroid · 07/12/2021 23:18

I will be the Speaker of the House (so no job change there).

I won't be insisting BJ comes to the House to explain himself, I'll ban him. Him and all his sycophants.

I'll bring a rolling pin (to replace Black Rod).

Maggiesgirl · 07/12/2021 23:19

Was also in childcare for 40 years. Have a very very good Paddington hard stare and stern voice. Can bring my in naughty step as well.

Ooh, like Boudicca.

Sorry Morrisey , I’m stealing your song and making it out anthem.

Westminster tube station is accessible so the full Boudicca is an option.

I have a feiends and family card so can get a couple of cheap tickets.
My teen would want to come. He hates them.

midlifecrash · 07/12/2021 23:35

@MrsTerryPratchett

Oh and I'm Housing and Social Care. I'd be brilliant.
Oh I was just wondering if you would be Home Sec!
poolblue · 07/12/2021 23:36

Please may I have a seat on the bus.
I'd like to be responsible for feeding Larry the No 10 cat.
But if that post is taken, I could leak stories to Robert Peston

Maggiesgirl · 07/12/2021 23:36

Right, will bring DS's Camans, ( plays Shinty on a Tuesday, so will need to get them back to him by then) I've got a couple of bungees ready to fix them to my chair.

Can I take over pre school curriculum please. Seen it change so many times over the years, and they have never got it right yet.

MrsTerryPratchett · 07/12/2021 23:38

If you insist...

I think I might be one of those 'power corrupts' types though. So watch me like a hawk.

TheMarzipanDildo · 07/12/2021 23:39

I know people in a university OTC- you’ve got to have the military on board if you’re going to win a revolution Grin

TheMarzipanDildo · 07/12/2021 23:40

I wrote an essay about that

KurtWildesChristmasNamechange · 07/12/2021 23:43

Are we having a revolution? Count me in.

KurtWildesChristmasNamechange · 07/12/2021 23:46

On a practical note, I'm a writer. Do you need someone to write up the manifesto when we take over?

midlifecrash · 07/12/2021 23:46

Who is keeping the spreadsheet of the cabinet posts? Don’t think we have any duplicates yet…
Whoever said they were too angry for biscuits, perhaps they could be handed out with a contemptuous look?

wonderstuff · 07/12/2021 23:48

I’m in, I’m a 42 year old teacher and so sick of this shit. I’m absolutely livid however I can’t do much until a week Friday on account of actual serious work to do.

Bojo really is the epitome of privilege, can you imagine a woman that shit getting such a job.
