It was always going to end up in tears as in "tearing up" because it was allowed to drag on and on.
Twenty three days should have been one day on the grounds and surrounds of parliament - and not even a single overnight. No camping or glamping. No construction of toilets and showers.

Twenty three days should have been one day on the grounds and surrounds of parliament - and not even a single overnight. No camping or glamping. No construction of toilets and showers.
Of course as time marched on army members at Trentham should have been brought in just to back up the police and under the instructions of the police.
Politicians of a main-stream kind addressing a crowd that was more a mob due to the differing and in some cases, maniacal reasons for their being there would have been rendered useless and maybe even more cause for inciting rage among people in the audience. It was Trump infusion territory and that is where some of the protesters got their cue from.
In the end it can only be regarded as a disgraceful episode that achieved little apart from Covid spreading, and was less damaging than a Russian rocket attack on residential and commercial buildings in the Ukraine. If mandating was one of the key elements to this protest then the protesters are lucky they were not trying to man date Putin.
As a footnote, so the trains closed shop on the day and night of the police removal action. It was good that they did. They should have done this weeks prior when other Covid protest marches had taken place and the train services had allowed the carriages to be filled up by almost 100% unmasked protesters without any comment from staff on the trains.
Hey Neighbourly folk, what are your thoughts on the mayoralty? Is it a time for a change?

Please tell us what you think and put NFP if you do not want your comments used.
The race is on for the Upper Hutt mayoralty with three term councillor Angela McLeod, confirming she is again taking on incumbent Wayne Guppy.
In 2019, Mcleod came within 2000 votes of Guppy, who is now seeking his eighth term.
McLeod believes that she could have pushed Guppy closer in 2019, if it were not for the presence of a third candidate, Steve Taylor, who received 2,735 votes.
This time, Taylor says he will not be standing and is not aware of anyone else likely to do so.

“Our thoughts are with those in our community who are affected by the conflict in Ukraine. We've lit up our iconic fantail on SH2 in blue and gold, joining other monuments and landmarks around the world, to show our support.”
Has anyone received a response from The Mall management as to when the escalator is going to be repaired?
I wonder when the owners of it are going to be bothered to fix the escalator that has not been working for over six months.
