When the Corbyn-MOMENTUM party are in no 10 things will be so different.

Will we address each other as comrade?

sunseeker Sat 09-Sept-17 15:49:11

Who do you have in mind Anniebach?

suzied Sat 09-Sept-17 15:58:27

We will drink only tap water, holiday in the garden , only eat what we grow and no foreigners allowed oops that's post Brexit.

I thought it was going to be a non-violent dictatorship Annie! shock

sunseeker yes, beards for all, including women.Some will already have a natural advantage in that dept, smooth chinned women will buy or rent them in beard boutiques.

Savile Row tailors will be out of a job and have re-training as lentil packers.

lemongrove Sat 09-Sept-17 17:03:10

Mushroom rissotto will become the National dish.shock

Cherrytree59 Sat 09-Sept-17 17:09:29

lemongrove as well as my beard,
I am also going to grow my underarm hair.
This I shall plait or basket weave.

Chewbacca Sat 09-Sept-17 17:14:35

We'll need a national anthem to be sung whenever our Great Leader appears in public. What would you suggest? Something rousing that can be coordinated with goose marching forces?

lemongrove Sat 09-Sept-17 17:15:30

Groovy, Cherrytree although I won't be allowed to say that in future, as all Capitalist bourgeoisie type sayings will be frowned on.And the thought of being sent to the turnip gulag or the lentil packing plant fills me with terror!

lemongrove Sat 09-Sept-17 17:16:56

How about 'Don't Look Back In Anger ' Chewbacca ?

Chewbacca Sat 09-Sept-17 17:22:06

Then you'll have to be "re educated lemon! This could be something as terrible as spending a week on the GN News and Political forums where you'll be forced to read aloud every url link provided and give a dissertation to show that you've understood and accepted it. sad

sunseeker Sat 09-Sept-17 17:23:51

Noooo Chewbacca that is cruel and unusual punishment!!

lemongrove Sat 09-Sept-17 17:26:16

I would prefer the turnip gulag.?

Anniebach Sat 09-Sept-17 17:47:05

Good grief Chewbacca , being shot is better than that

Elegran Sat 09-Sept-17 17:47:33

All those hairdressers and stylists who were re-educated as lentil pruners and turnip shavers will have to go back on ANOTHER course in beard construction. They can use the whiskers shaved off the turnips.

Anniebach Sat 09-Sept-17 18:03:56

May executioner will be the great leader, if he is a pacifist he will not shoot and I will be alright, if he does shoot me he isn't the pacifist he claims to be so I will be right , a win win ?
Well sort of !

lemongrove Sun 10-Sept-17 19:34:29

Since all property owning is 'theft' all owned houses will be sold only to our great Leader, no matter how big or small
They will all be worth £50,000 and a free sackful of cabbages.
Thus, the State will be sole owners.Inheritance laws will be changed to £10 max for each recipient.The State will pocket the rest for the upkeep of The Peoples Supermarkets.Or so they say.

Anniebach Sun 10-Sept-17 20:20:48

All lawns and patios will be dug up and potatoes planted, this will provide all schools and care homes hot bowls of potato stew and potato cakes

Chewbacca Sun 10-Sept-17 20:26:54

But even if you own the lawn, you won't own the spuds, will you? Because they will belong to the state and will be managed by a collective who will ensure that you get sent to the gulag if you nick any. Where will the gulag be situated? There'll have to be a few dotted around the country in case of dissenting citizens. who could possibly dissent from this utopian dream

Anniebach Sun 10-Sept-17 20:51:01

The coal pits in Wales will be opened up , this will serve two purposes , Scargill will be in charge and coal will be used for braziers in the streets, communal heating, and the potatoes will belong to the state

Chewbacca Sun 10-Sept-17 20:59:43

Scar Gill is bobbing on a bit Annie , won't they find someone a bit younger? Now who could they have........? hmm

What is it about these hats/caps

Chewbacca Sun 10-Sept-17 21:47:08

grin

They're standard issue for all Comrades Annie ! Actually, he has more than a passing resemblance to Our Great Leader doesn't he? That same gnarled, unpolished "man of the people" look. Cut from the same bit of cloth!

Only the higher ranking Comrades will be able to wear a hat like that. The rest of us will be given knitted bob hats that will be coloured the same as our boiler suits. They will be knitted in the gulags by grannies who refuse to conform to The New Way.

Anniebach Sun 10-Sept-17 22:01:37

I don't mind knitting in a coal mine, been down a few times, but knitting by light from a torch doesn't seem comfy.

Georgous George Galloway the great leaders very close friend doesn't wear those caps

grumppa Sun 10-Sept-17 22:16:34

Being about the same age, my beard and hairstyle already resemble those of the blessed leader. I am prepared to volunteer as a body double to preserve him from harm from capitalist assassins, provided this qualifies me for a dacha in Norfolk and a reconditioned Trabant.

Anniebach Sun 10-Sept-17 22:23:40

Nooo Grumppa, I may shoot you in error, not that I am a capatalist I hasten to add , just may feel grumpy one morning
