A SHORT POST ABOUT NOTHING


Police will be "highly visible" in Wellington today as a number of different groups prepare to hold protests in the central city.

Two groups are set to start protests at Civic Square: at 11am for a group concerned about the alleged mistreatment of those who occupied Parliament's grounds unlawfully last month, and at 12pm for a Ukraine solidarity gathering.

A third protest will start at 12pm at the Botanic Gardens. That event is run by a group called Unite, which is holding protests every day for a fortnight at different locations in Wellington.

On its website, Unite says its main aim is to "reconnect as a group", and "reform the foundation built and then teared [sic] apart on the 2nd March 2022,"

I do believe in worthwhile causes but this seems like a case of protesting for protesting sake.

I'm thinking chardonnay, from a bottle fortunately but unlikely to have been one (or more) with a label.

Sleep well.
