Here we come... walking down the street

The Anti-Smack­ing Bill? The Child Dis­ci­pline Bill? I’m not entire­ly sure what it’s offi­cial­ly called, and in stan­dard tra­di­tion, I can’t be both­ered look­ing it up. But you know what I mean.

We get the funniest looks from everyone we meet

We here at the Welling­ton­ista don’t tend to take sides on impor­tant issues, or more accu­rate­ly, we do, we just bick­er amongst our­selves, rather than pro­claim it from our hal­lowed site. Unless Natal­ie tells us we should.

Hey, hey, we're the monkees And people say we monkey around

Any­way, I watched the scant few hun­dred peo­ple march down Lambton Quay protest­ing the repeal of Sec­tion 59, and an even scant­er num­ber tag­ging along at a dis­creet dis­tance, protest­ing against those protest­ing the repeal of Sec­tion 59. No won­der I get con­fused…

But were too busy singing To put anybody down

Best bit was the Flag Head Guy who ran onto the road & tore up some­one’s plac­ard. Two pigs respect­ed police­men ran after & for­ca­bly restrained him. I was a few floors up hop­ing they’d taser the guy, because that’d be pret­ty neat to blog about with pic­tures don’t you think?

We go wherever we want to, Do what we like to do

Break­ing news! The guy with the flag on his head, was not in fact, just some very naughty boy, he was Jesus, Son of God, so not only did we wit­ness a spir­it­ed protest march, but also some civ­il dis­obe­di­ence from the res­ur­rect­ed Mes­si­ah.

Not some­thing you see every day of the week, I think you’ll all agree! Way to go Jesus! Still in trou­ble with the law I see.

We don't have time to get restless, Theres' always something new.

I gave them a cou­ple of min­utes & then tagged along to the Bee­hive to see if I could get any pho­tos of any Evil Right Wing Blog­gers ™, but all I found was David Far­rar. And I failed to get his pho­to any­way, because I had the cam­era held high over the crowd & seem to have cap­tured Chris­tine Rank­in’s decol­letage instead.

Yes, that is she. Lind­say Peri­go is over to one side, I’d gone by the time he or any­one spoke though. But I said hel­lo to Rod­ney Hide as I went & expressed sad­ness that he & Chris­tine had not seen fit to enter­tain us with an impromp­tu fox­trot.

Cripes, Jesus, Chris­tine Rankin, David Far­rar, Rod­ney Hide & Lind­say Peri­go all in one day!
