MAYDAY! MAYDAY!

The four horseman of the apocalypse are set to swoop on central London once again, this time for an Election Meltdown Mayday march. The horsemen will drag the carcasses of four party leaders to Parliament Square, where the effigies of Gordon Brown, David Cameron, Nick Clegg and Nick Griffin will be hung, drawn and quartered - or guillotined, according to the whims of the assembled baying mob. After the symbolic excecution, a people’s assembly will convene on the green to put the world to rights.

The Silver Horse represents money meltdown and is the parade for you if it’s bankers, bailouts, cuts, and expenses that gets yer bile flowing. It will drag David Cameron from Conservative party HQ, SW1P 4DP, at 2pm.

The Red Horse represents war and is for those disgusted with the last nine years of Neo-Labour conflict. With Gordon Brown trailing behind, it will make it’s way to Parliament from Labour Party HQ, 39 Victoria Street, SW1H 0HA at 2pm.

The Green Horse represents impending environmental disaster and will lead a column of eco-warriors. Departing Liberal Democrat HQ, 4 Cowley Street, SW1P 3NB at 2pm, it will also drag poor-man’s Obama, Nick ‘Break a’ Clegg.

The Black Horse will ride under the banner of Anarchy and is for all you blac block-ers. Dragging the fetid Nick Griffin, the parade will form a contingent on the TUC march from Clerkenwell Green, EC1R 0DU, at 1pm. It will go to Trafalgar Square, then continue on to Parliament square, arriving for some gym-karma with the other horses at around 2.30pm.

After last year’s appearance at the G20 protests was reined in by repressive policing, here’s hoping this time these harbingers of doom are chomping at the bit and ready to gallop in order to stay out of the Met’s kettles...
