Please don't forget to think of the poor kids of Gaza over the Christmass period the third big convoy that was supposed to send food to Gaza has been blockaded by the Israeli and US troops. See International Action Center. I have forwarded the IAC e-mail to as many of my contacts as possible I hope many of you will do the same. Also If you feel strongly about this issue please send an e-mail to the Egyptian Embassy in Wellington the Egyptian Government need a little intestinal fortitude. Those long time Pink Floyd fans who thaught that Roger Waters was a bit of a hard man, well apparently he is with the international convoy which is great to hear that he is seeing the light!!!!

Oh, well. Merry Xmas to all, esp Frog, and I'm impressed you have included the bigots, racists, etc in my family in your seasonal greeting; I s'pose I should be able to accept their opinions for one day a year myself. Might try that next year, as this year's plans are booked & locked in already, lol. Seeya back in the frogpond after we run out of fair trade chocolate :-)

As for the rest of you ugly mugs. MERRY CHRISTMAS You all may think that I am a hard man, but I don't think the above mentioned people deserve any Christmas blessing.

I presume you are referring to my comments, among others, on Kiwiblog and Whaleoil following Whale being charged with offences under the Criminal Justice Act. For those who haven't <a href="http://whaleoil.gotcha.co.nz/2009/12/23/any-pro-bono-lawyers-out-there/#IDComment48849069" rel="nofollow">seen my comments</a>, I think Whale was totally justified in outing the "musician" who got name suppression. I'm a great fan of civil disobedience when a law is stupid or is enforced stupidly. But I also think Whale went way too far in outing the "sportsman". That case hasn't come to trial yet, and outing both the accused and effectively the alleged victim when they have name suppression to protect the alleged victim is not a good look. In a rare concurrence, BB appears to agree.
