Autonomous Local Picnics Every Sunday
Lie Down Against Slavery
Share your food and ideas

Venue: A Picnic Spot In Your Local Town, City Or Village.

Time: Sunday Afternoon
Place: Anywhere Picnickable

Pointless Picnics are held every Sunday afternoon, providing the weather is fine. They offer an opportunity to get away from consumerism and wage slavery.
Tell your friends to tell their friends and come along to share your food, thoughts play music and games or just relax.
The picnics are something you don't have to think about, enjoy them, they're fun.
The time has been arranged to avoid the need for organisation. Everyone is welcome and don't forget..... it's just a Global Picnic!

perhaps picnics are the new samba?

french students picnicked on railway lines to stop trains during the recent unrest against new employment laws in france.

uk activists hold a picnic in parliament square every sunday afternoon to challenge and campaign against the socpa law banning protest around parliament. (www.peopleincommon.org)

now we have this suggestion for radical autonomous picnics on sundays around the country. well, like samba, picnics alone may not bring down capitalism, but they can be conducive to some great radical and creative planning, they can be fun, and in the right place at the right (or wrong?) time, they can even be quite powerfully disruptive.

pass me some salad please!

Erm... if this is supposed to be a pseudo-protest against wage slavery, why hold it on a Sunday afternoon when most people aren't at work normally?

And why make a deal out of something people do on Sunday afternoons in the summer anyway, as if it were some exciting brand new invention. It's like telling Londoners to show their solidarity for tube workers by taking the tube they usually take to work.

Oh dear. I've gone and risen to this haven't I?
