Does anyone else find it ironic that a bunch of idiots, who have obviously never done a constructive day's work in their lives, chose to call their organisation "ploughshare"?
Pretty obvious I thought
"They shall beat their swords into ploughshares their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift sword against nation; and there shall be no more training for war. Isaiah 2/4"
They're just following orders.

Or, then again, perhaps not.

Kia ora. I am a farmer in the north of New Zealand, a place called Hokianga (The Returning), where my family has practiced a form of subsistence farming since 1978. I am a steady practicing Catholic and have been for all 24 years of my life. Daily life consists of gardening to provide food, working with the cows and horse, and other daily necessities. To get by financially I do self-employed manual labour - mostly building. On the spiritual side I am fed by my Christian faith and take my ideals from the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John - which (by taking them seriously) has led me to this.
Annoying little things, afcts, ain't they. 'N harder to squash than a huhu beetle even.

The next global conflict may well be fought over food shortages and that will implicate us in terms of aggression from most probably the Indonesians. We will be glad of intelligence gathering but less glad that this crock of a Government got rid of our air strike force and supporting infrastructure
If the "protestors" really wanted to draw attention to the location, why not just paint red nipples on the tops of the domes?
Ohh er!!
Instant tourist attraction and potential advertisment site for Bendon.

Nice of you to credit the British with such good motives.
Unfortunately, it's all bollocks. The British Government had egg on their faces and wanted to win the next election; that war had nothing to do with the rights of the island inhabitants (said rights were merely a convenient bit of rhetoric for the unwashed Sun-reading masses to chew on).
kiwibiker is full of love, an disrespect.
