Students shame their elders by their courage, lets hope the teachers and principals show half the courage on the 30th of may. Wheelers Corner 27

This weeks Wheelers Corner is all in pictures...why because pictures best tell the real story of just how brave our students were in carrying out their action on behalf of those whose futures we've spent the last couple of hundred years slowly but surely destroying bit by bit...by our stupidity...

It was the first time, as I understand it, that a DIE In was used during a march around the Square...I think it was because the participants were younger....

Lucky for us...they didn't really die...but simply acted as if they did...and then after a minute or three they awoke...and stood to the relief of all present....

During this stage an OLD White male, commented to me that all they were doing were holding up the motorists...of course he never understood that unless we do something there may be NO motorists...in ten or so years...

Of course if you are rich...no problems, except that most people are not rich....

This picture gives a clear view that the younger generation are really really scared that our leaders lack the courage and skill to undertake the changes required to get on to the right track that will protect OUR future and our childrens children future... After all why should they trust us...so far we've done nothing other than to lead them astray...

Nelson has shown some courage, and a wee part of Canterbury too has moved an inch or two in the right direction...

I searched the growd and I only saw one PNC Councillor [Brent Barrett] was brave enough to attend the protest to support Manawatu students in their wonderful stand for mother earth...
where was the Mayor, the Deputy Mayor and the other invisible 14 Councillors: were they all too busy...or deaf to hear the plea, Of course I may have missed a hidden Councillor or Mayor hiding up stairs in the Council building...as I understand it some of our Councillors are young moms, what sort of a future do they think they are leaving for the younger generation. Or is Toyota more important than our future...after we gave them hundreds of thousands for free...they are the third of forth richest motor company in the world...and we donate rates to them...how stupid can one get.

Peter,

Thanks for the pix of the SS4C. Die ins are a graphic way of showing our futures. You will remember the success

Extinction Rebellion had in Britain with massive demonstrations and die ins which blocked roads. It seemed as though there was little action by enforcement agencies. It may be the Brits accept that protest is a legitimate form of action. Much different to this country where a piddling little demonstration by a few kids is accompanied by wall to wall rozzers, taking names and generally making their lives uncomfortable, by wheeling them off to prison. It indicates to me there are too many rozzers without enough real crime to occupy their tiny minds!

Quite strange how a minor disturbance attract’s rozzers in their droves while assaults and other misdemeanours

succeed out of sight and without action.

I have put together a lengthy diatribe with some views on the inaction regarding climate change. If you are interested I can post it to you.
