Love to do it custardo, but I'd fail miserably. I'm more of Trotsky than a Lenin. Used to have great fun at board meetings in the City quoting him in dealing with outsiders causing us trouble.
I have the leadership equivalent of dyslexia. I am the opposite of a born leader. The only time people do what I tell them is when I systematically destroy the validity of any action other than what I want them to do.
Not a great way to lead a consumer campaign since I reckon I could do a good one.
Maybe we could do a film. I know people with high level skills in this area, they do stuff like FX for Harry Potter.
We return excess waste to the offices of large firms. Although he's a proven liar and political miscreant, Michael Moore shows us how to do this well.
We'd do it properly. I reckon we could fill the reception area of Nestle with all sorts of mank.
The secret is planning. Not very hard to get jobs as cleaners (for instance). One has access to many areas, and it would take a long time for someone to notice the rubbish was going the wrong way...
Also I assume there are any number of attractive members of MN ? they could distract the bored male security guards.
Better, and more funny would be to fill executives offices with rubbish.
For this we'd have to spend a bit of money.
They will have Internet access of course, and we can plug in webcams to catch their reaction, probably need 4-5 per office to get a good selection of shots. Some webcams are now wireless, so we could put them pretty much anywhere.
Nestle are bad people, so they would be my favoured target.
We'd need an integrated plan to exploit the breach.
First of course we do a deal with a newspaper for an exclusive, a Sunday would be the best. We'd also need lawyers, and I have some of them.
A key aspect of this is no violence. None.
Although the Labour party is very sympathetic to Animal Rights thugs their use of violence has made it impossible for the witless artsgrads to help
much aside from keeping the police off their backs.
With any luck Nestle would sue, adding to the publicity. Google on MacLibel to see how well that will work for them.
Humour is our main weapon.
Given that we'd have committed a criminal offence in lying on our job applications, the rational course is to find some random policeman in rural Wales and surrender ourselves to him. Or maybe each turning ourselves in at the local nick. Maybe a couple could get cheap flights and turn ourselves in at British embassies and demand we be extradidted for our crimes. Turn up already wearing handcuffs from Ann Summers and T shirts with "Nestle Kill 3rd world babies" written on them. Invite local media along to each surrender.
I assume some MNers are disabled. Without sounding too cynical, they'd be great people to turn up at the local nick. We'd have scenes where someone tries to turn themselves in for these heinous crimes but can't get in because of the steps. No reason we shouldn't help their cause.
Bodyshop does well on emulating a concern for the 3rd world. Maybe a brand that caters to women wants in on that ? No reason why a humourist political force shouldn't be sponsored, or at least get some of it's gear supplied.
Guess we need £25-50K, which isn't pocket money, but divided amongst many MNers wouldn't be that much each.
Filming all this would be quite funny. Part of the budget would be to give everyone small cheap video recorders, left on to catch all the stuff.
Though we'd need someone who was good at it, since that's the technically most demanding part of the whole operation.
Pipe dream of course. Web activism hasn't really come to much even by people with much better leadership skills than me.
