ICC could return to London
By Will last year, at the start of December Add your comment below
So the ICC might be joining dozens of large organisations by fleeing the dusty hell-hole of strange buildings and the false economy of Dubai to return to Lord’s, housed in leafy London. No less a false economy, you might think, based, as it is, on bankers gambling the public’s money and then thriving off their bonuses (before America’s housing market collapses again, and the government bail out the bankers who in turn persuade us that “everything’s absolutely fine, honestly, so do keep banking with us so we can continue to gamble your money and keep us and the government in power,” thereby perpetuating the myth that democracy actually exists.
I really, really could go off on one about democracy but now’s not the time.
So yes, the ICC might be coming back to Lord’s. I always quite liked the fact they were so far away, even if getting hold of them on the phone was often impossible. “Sorry! On the golf course. In a buggy, in fact.” – “Yes, but there have been allegations of chucking from xyz.” etc.
But what do the public think about this? Well I went ahead and asked them, and here’s one of the succinct replies:
“Fuck Pakistan. Pashtunistan Zindabad. Pakistan army is raping our Pathan women and torturing our innocent old,” offered one. “They are real lions and they derserve to be a no:01 team in the game of cricket,” tapped another.
Oh god.
