Default Today, I have a problem with........

Japanese whalers! (Sorry off topic)

But WTF they think they are, not only blasting away at a species that not so long ago was on the critically endangered list.

Now it there is s distinct possibility that this factory ship fire is going to cause a huge environmental disaster.

If ever there was a time that Helen Clark to show that this is our patch it is now. Grow some balls Helen (although I suspect she might have a couple tucked away there already ).

Seriously, I wish NZ would do something about this.

I am sooooo glad I am not the only one who feels like that !!!!

I have been ranting and raving to my family about that boat down in the Antarctic and wondering why the hell Nz are not doing anything about sending them home, Laughed my head off when I heard their ship had caught fire and they wouldn't accept any help from Greenpeace who they referred to as 'terrorists'

Shame it didn't sink with the whole lot onboard !!!
