Mad Picnic for a Mad World

Manchester Anarchists and friends celebrated May Day with a picnic on Piccadilly Gardens. It was a lovely day with the Manchester Samba Band playing. The picnicers gave away free popcorn (wrapped in leaflets letting people know about the selloff of Piccadilly gardens) and lots of cake. People drew pictures, wrote poems and lazed around in the sun. There will be another Mad Picnic for a Mad World in Piccadilly soon and on other bits of ripped off land as the summer goes on.

Based on article at IndyMedia Manchester where lots and lots more photos are available (ie will take ages to download using a slow connection...)
