I'm an old gardener, and he protest tents seem to need to be cut back
I'm an old man now, and very happy in Wellington.
I was a firebrand in my youth, and protesting for CND, Anti-Apartheid, Reclaim the Night, and I understand the critical need for the people today to be able to protest in freedom.
I just think it's gone on too long, their point has been made.
We will all be paying through the nose in our council rates for the next couple of years to cover all the damage they have done, plus all our local CBD businesses have lost out big time.
I feel very happy putting on my gardening gloves and going to clip town all those tents. :)
I'm sure that there are many more of us than all the protesters, and so I'm happy to go gardening, if it keeps my rates down.
