‘Sorry’ March Planned For Wootton Bassett
HAVING endured and survived Anjem Choudary and Jon Gaunt, Wootton Bassett is now prepared to do battle with corgi-munching, peanut-faced artist Mark McGowan. Madame Arcati writes:
MY dear remote friend Mark McGowan (how’s sexy Bryn?) plans to crawl on his hands and knees through the touchy town of Wootton Bassett with a sign on his back which simply says, “SORRY“. The event is planned for Sunday 21st February 2010 at 2pm.
The artist has previously completed many famous crawls including London to Canterbury. He also pushed a monkey nut with his nose for 7 miles to Downing Street.
He says, “This performance/art event is an attempt to say sorry for all the civillians that have been and that are being killed due to this country’s foreign policy. Also, ‘this is not a protest’.”
I do hope Mark is not kicked to death by the flag-waving burghers of Wootton Bassett, egged on by circulation-chasing tabloids or the giggly presenters of the Today programme. That would be too distressing.
Tabloid sh*tstorm to follow…

Mark McGowan, a 37-year-old artist from Peckham, south east London, propells himself along in a shopping trolley outside the London Art Fair at the Business Design Centre in Islington, North London. The performance artist is expected to start a journey to Glasgow from the Art Fair in the trolley tomorrow. The London Art Fair will run from 14-18 January 2004 and is expected to attract over 35,000 visitors.
