Weddings of Mass Distraction and Picnic Against Parasite alternative events in Bristol and Bath on the 29th April
Nick Clegg recently made an issue of nepotism (favoritism granted to relatives or friends regardless of merit) as the country heads towards a  royal wedding. While most of the media seems to be excited about the prospect, not everyone in the UK is.  In Bristol there will be an alternative event: "As part of Pay it Forward Week Trinity Community Arts, The Love of It and Let’s Do Nice Things are Free Alternative Royal Wedding Day on Friday 29 April 12pm-9pm. The event will also be supported Cambrian Street Promotions and Weddings of Mass Distraction who will be helping us to programme an exciting, alternative and fun-packed day." (Full article.)

In Bath there is an event too: "So, instead of gawping at the box on Friday the 29th April, why not join us in Royal Victoria Park (oh, the irony!) in Bath, for a Picnic Against Parasites! Meeting at the war memorial at midday, please dress for the occasion, and bring food, drink, music, friends and banners; oh, and the odd effigy to burn, too." (Full article).
