I've just thought. . .

Does the UK need a Mary Poppins?

Or a Nanny Mcphee?

How about a Nanny Ogg?

Or do we go nuclear and need a Grandma Weatherwax?

Politically speaking of course!

@Igmum Vetinari does, and isn't ashamed to admit it.

Buffy? Merlin? Anonymous?

No-one takes me seriously, but I could persuade my ladyfriend to come and help with enforcement I suppose.

Errol... that's just brutal. And the treasury doesn't have a big enough pile of gold for her to sleep on any more since furlough.

Prof McGonagall gets my vote.

I vote for Greebo, he would sort bojo

Can we replace the National Anthem with “The hedgehog can never be buggered” or the song about the wizard’s staff?

@1760llath

I vote for Greebo, he would sort bojo

And someone thought my suggestion was brutal! (She just does light singeing nowadays, honest)

I vote for nanny Plum.

Left-field suggestion: Moist (sorry, not sorry, that's really his name) Von Lipwig. He has a track record after his successes with both the postal service and the bank. Time to move him into government?

Only mistress weatherwax could save us now

Granny Weatherwax and Professor McGonagall - they'd have it right as rain!

Moist could do Sage. He's an organisation sorterer-outerer,.

Vetinari in charge of London. He's a city planner. Lady Margolotta for The North.

Granny Weatherwax in charge of the world. She nudges behaviour and knows when to drop the hammer.

And for gods we need the Lady (don't say her name).

And anyone who disagrees gets the Ice Giants.

You called?

@Di11y

Vote for nanny ogg here

We need a Jacinda Ardern who just won in NZ by a landslide. Competent, efficient & trustworthy, everything the UK government is not

I think MrsTP has it about right.
We certainly could do with someone good at headology.

@Igmum

Yes, the Weatherwax-Vimes-Vetinari triumvirate! Why did no-one think of this before? We are saved

^ so much this!

(Immediately digs out all Discworld books to re-read).

Does anyone else think that Maggie Smith would be a great Granny Weatherwax? Or too close to her role as McGonagall?

Boris the Bear from under the stairs is here for a while until we stop believing in him :)

She's too posh.

Not going to offer a shot at that delivery, but I've always thought that Brian Blessed is far too obvious to ever be cast as Ridcully.

Come to think, they could do with Brian Blessed to tell the (faux) confused WHAT THE RULES ARE.

@StealthPolarBear

Tbh even postman pat would be preferable to what we've got

He's an even worse shagger than the current leader.
