A group of self-styled ‘anarchitects’ plan to end parliamentary sleaze – by challenging MPs to to a gentlemanly game of cricket.
The match is scheduled for 2pm on 1 May in Parliament Square, opposite the House of Commons.
The Space Hijackers’ invitation reads:
[We] hereby challenge you and your fellow Members of Parliament to a game of cricket. We challenge you to show us that your morals and behaviour are fit to govern this country……A decline of our challenge will be seen by us and the entire British Public as acceptance that you are the morally and honourably corrupt government that we suspect. We shall see you at the pitch.
It was delivered to over 600 Labour, Conservative and Liberal Democrat MPs at the House Of Commons on 4 April.
Observers are invited to bring tea, cucumber sarnies, Pimms, picnics, moral fibre and good sportsmanship.
We hope to see you there.
