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’d like to be Defence Secretary then. Is anyone already doing that?

@Ohdofuckoffcovid

I have covid but I can still come right? Wink
Only if you're testing your eyes.
Ohdofuckoffcovid · 07/12/2021 23:54

Perfect, I’ll be there!

NuckingFightmare · 07/12/2021 23:55

Vive la revolution!!
I'm so fucking in!
Can we please decriminalise cannabis and prostitution? If we make them be business, we can tax them.
Economy fixed.
Crime rate down.
Divorce rate down.
Sex workers safer.
Not sure exactly what I can bring to the table, but I make a mean bacon and egg sarnie Wink

Well, I have been paying no attention to what you are all getting up to. I know nothing about politics. I have only decided on two very vague and badly thought through policies. Obviously, I will be the PM.

Are your policies sucking up money for yourself and lying when confronted? If not you will be a great improvement and have my vote

gofg · 08/12/2021 00:31

Can't help, sorry - on the other side of the world and not a Brit - but I will have my chair right up in front of the telly to yell encouragement! I can't take much more of Emmerdale, so you lot will take my mind off it Grin

Booklover3 · 08/12/2021 00:34

Yes I’m in. I’ll bring my motorhome. Its old and knackered but we will have a toilet and tea and coffee making… could probably stretch to bacon / sausage sarnies.

Fuck em. We could do better with our eyes closed.

Booklover3 · 08/12/2021 00:35

I am very angry tonight. Very angry. Enough lies and money for the boys.

immersivereader · 08/12/2021 00:38

I'll be head of DWP.

And from now on, only pissed off women over 60 are making the rules. Preference given to the disaffected

OneSecond · 08/12/2021 00:49

I am in! Now that I am in my forties I've been perfecting my death stare. I can also bring a deceptively soft and innocent-looking cat.

Can I be the Universities minister? I am an academic and despairing at what's being done to Higher Education.

Apocalyptichorsewoman · 08/12/2021 00:49

I'm in! A 52 yr old nurse rocks up on a pony waving a flask of weak lemon squash - I can see them tremble! I can also get my pony to crap on their doorstep too! Can I be in charge of health btw? 😀

Medievalist · 08/12/2021 00:52

Madroid has already beaten me to the post of Speaker, so I'll be Deputy Speaker and stand in when she needs to pop to the loo or do some Xmas shopping.

I won't ban Boris - I'll just use a cattle prod on him every time he fails to answer a question.

ElEmEnOhPee · 08/12/2021 00:55

I'm in, I'm 38 but already tired of everyones shit. I can bring placards and my "I'm thoroughly disappointed in you" look!

KrispyKale · 08/12/2021 00:56

I'm in.

Westfacing · 08/12/2021 00:57

If we hurry we'll be on time for PMQs later today - no time like the present!

Er, what do we do with Starmer, does he get to stay?

Lunaduckdrop · 08/12/2021 00:57

I can easily fill 10 minutes of prime air time on the Today programme without ever answering any of Nick Robinson's questions. That qualifies me for Deputy PM doesn't it?

KloppsTeeth · 08/12/2021 01:05

I’m in.

I’m happy to muck in anywhere and I’ll bring placards, some sharpie markers and an extra tambourine.

Booklover3 · 08/12/2021 01:13

What’s the betting Johnson isn’t there today at PMQ?

Downunderduchess · 08/12/2021 01:49

Sandwiches are always a good idea regardless of the circumstances. Wishing you luck from Australia!

That's OK. The Leader of the Glorious People's Revolution shouldn't be actually in charge of anything after.

No problem - do what Boris did early in the pandemic - just shake every bodies hand!
Cheguevarahamster · 08/12/2021 05:39

I would love to join. I think we should have a party outside no 10, complete with cheese, wine and party hats.

loislovesstewie · 08/12/2021 05:54

Oh and I have a photogenic dog. He can be the Xmas card.
