On the TV3 news tonight our New Zealand Greenpeace team joined the UK contingent in protesting the War on Iraq by blocking a UK miltary supply ship laden with tanks and helicopters and painted a Stop the War slogan on the side of the ship despite from being hosed down heavily by soldiers on board the ship and used our Rainbow Warrior to block the ship's access to leave the harbour but the big meanies put our boat in jail...

Go Greenpeace you rock!
When I was 12 years old a photo was taken with my classmates from Intermediate school in the galleys of the original Rainbow Warrior where we were having a knee biting competition to see who had the reddest knees... I won :)

He he (imagines all his mates in the navy/marines giving the hippies a kicking). I remember when some woman got into faz lane naval base and climbed (naked) on top of a submarine in protest. The naval guys just sat and watched her rant till she collapsed from hypothermia.
Technically blocking a military vessel in time of war is treason. And there are still working gallows in Portsmouth Harbour...

He he, they don't really get annoyed by it. They tend to just sit around laughing whenever there are protestors about.
The load at faz lane I was on about actually get a shout out in the credits of cold cut's "let us play" album :)
Is Red your Mrs. Flea? Say hi to her.
