What kind of a wanker goes out marching to promote hitting children? What particularly irked me was that there were so many kids present - it was school hours, shouldn't they have been in class??! What great parents, yanking their children away from their education to promote their medieval parenting methods.

Doesn't exactly support the "massive public groundswell" that Wednesday was painted as by some (including in the mainstream media). There were more Wellington marchers at the kindergarten strike in 2005, and that was called with less than a week's notice (and didn't close two schools to bolster its numbers either).<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your report Maia :-)Spanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16896745511007816190noreply@blogger.com
