Anzac Day
-
@Mokey haven't heard anything, there's been a distinct lack of Valerie Morse burning flags at the service in recent years though. I wonder if that has anything to do with the "peace activist" being photographed holding a pistol during the Urewera raids?

Worst addition to Anzac day obviously comes from Facebook. A filter that enables you to overlay "lest we forget " some poppies and i think a soldier on your vacuous selfie profile pick.
Fuck off
Ffs.

@Mokey was nothing in the news about it, but man that would not go down well at all. ANZAC day is one that seems to unify such a huge part of NZ that a small section to do that would end badly.
Yep, when the newsreader quoted some spokesperson as saying they thought it would be appropriate, I thought dude, you would be making the biggest mistake for your cause ever. Many people can take or leave Waitangi Day, but ANZAC Day brings pretty much everybody together, no matter age, race, gender whatever. it is held very dear, and it's so lovely seeing the parents and grandparents taking their kids to services, the oldies lined up with their medals, or their kids wearing them for those who have passed.
I think what's worse about that protest idea - promoting a book that falsely smears the NZDF in front of serving men and women and Vets? I mean are you fucking serious?

Anyone even contemplating any sort of protest at Anzac day is the worst kind of fluffybunny imaginable.

Rosemary McLeod said in one of her columns how deeply she regrets protesting Anzac services in the 70s with her friends . Mostly they were ranting about women who were raped during war and how they weren't being honoured. She said the worst part was the old blokes at the service never told them where to go let alone gave them a much deserved kick up the arse .
I get the impression the fuckwits that protest these sorts of things would like nothing better than some free publicity from getting a hiding and nothing would get under their skin more than a resounding "meh". -

All those 70s bra burning bitches should be first in line to actually celebrate that the ANZACs fought for their right to carry on like that I the first place. Some cultures would shoot them on the fucken spot.

Apparently there were some anti war protesters out, not sure if they were being obnoxious or not but the young fellow seems pretty worked up about them

They are protesting against war on a day we honour those who sacrificed to keep our freedom; of course they're being obnoxious

He's a snot nosed little kid who wouldn't know a tit from his elbow. Perhaps after he's served, he might just appreciate people have a wide range of views...
