So, if you ruled the world...

[JustineMumsnet]

What would you do? (in one paragraph!)
We have been asked by RED magazine what our take would be, so I need to consult the Mumsnet oracle. (Guess we should ask Harriet when she comes on too - she should have thought it through at least.)

I would make pedicures available on the NHS. No more yellow heels.

forgot to add global warming to my manifesto

global warming:

is bollocks. keep recycling though. it just makes sense

I was going to go with the golgafrincham B Ark to get rid of all the people I don't like (very nearly everyone ) but instead I'll vote for Custardo to rule the world.

cheers - you may have a walnut whip.

it's meant to be one paragraph

i don't know, i'd put monkeys in charge and go and live on the moon

I'm getting v anxious about the walnut whip arrangement.

This is just how it went wrong before they asked Mumsnetters to take over.

Before long we will all be ground down under the weight of a huge chocolate tithe to be supplied to the leadership.

thats the trouble with the world today.

reducing important matters to a paragraph

THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAT THAT, DON#T YOU SEE?

it cannot be contained by paragraphs alone.

I would stop all wars, every country would have be be satisfied with what they had in the way of boundaries. The money saved would go to set up a support network to feed and clothe the poorer countries. Oh and I'd fund a project to make low fat food taste as good as the full fat variety

i hear your concerns threadworm, but a single walnut whip - a day. is the height of my meglamania.

rofl custy!

I think I might actually just focus on fostering a Special Relationship with Obama.

hes married fennel

I think the general tone of this thread is that if Mumsnet ruled the world, we'd mostly spin round on our chairs and play Freecell while a worthy few drove themselves mad taking it seriously.

Well if you refer back to my earlier post I've abolished marriage so that won't be a problem in the Fennelian Utopia

I would put children first. Always.

For instance, when couples with childen divorce or split up, the kids stay in the house and the parents rotate instead of the children going to moms or dads house for visitation.

I'd allocate land so that every child had access to an allotment and knew how to grow their own.

I would abolish the notion of country and nations states, but would let people vote internationally for the Secretary General of the UN.

I would make Nestle use their power of dissemination to advertise breastfeeding world wide

And I'd wipe that smug grin off Sarah Palin's nasty face

Thanks everyone for your fabbo ideas - I've stolen nearly them all and dressed them up as my own work.

Take all the cash, and force everyone to apply to me for everyhing (just so I could send cameron and osborne's kids to an inner city state school- prob do them the world of good)

OK reality: get very stressed that I couldnt solve all the worlds problems and ten hide n a cupboard whilst reading lots of books by Singer and panicking quietly

Ban bullets.

Couples with children would be able to share their tax allowance.
SAHMs shouldn't foreit NHS pensions etc if choose to stay at home long term.
Better access to services / increased funding for SN children.
More investment in playgrounds and outdoor spaces.
Manufacturers/supermarkets forced to reduce packaging.
More money for libraries.
Encouragement of healthy eating / exercise.

Ah plagarism! Perk of the job when one runs a website I suppose....

What do you mean 'if'? When I rule the world I will make door numbers compulsory.

Ban timewasting online social groups like myspace, facebook, blogs, twitter and the like to encourage people should use their time more wisely and for the better of all, and not for wasting your life, by posting twaddle about yourself and your own self importance. Mumsnet being an exception as it is full of useful information, online discounts and conflicting social groups. No need to be invited by a friend, just join in and rant away.

And all that other stuff that Custardo said except that wrinkley old people should get free bus passes (without means test) otherwise the buses would be empty and the drivers lonely between the rush hours.

Will also banish moths.

Will also banish moths.

ROFL at how much thought Custy has put into this already.
