This photo shows how many people were on that protest for 90% of the Congress. Some of those are journalists. It is good to see people peacefully demonstrating and showing their views. Less good is setting off a fire alarm at an irritating time. Seriously bad was jostling Cullen as he was helping a member get away during the evacuation. Oh well, it was a nice break in the sun before a very good speech from Helen.

Of course the 2008 congress will be remembers for that very bad song (in bad taste and badly performed and made Helen cringe), the protesters (ex-Labour voters no Doubt), Devious Michael and his bad case of KDS (Quite contagious with lefties) and Mike Williams encouraging the delegates to break the law.
Then John key effectively neutralised Helen Main election plank (and the public don't really care about the other election plank)
The number of protesters (plus the evidence of empty seats within the hall) said to me the public are no longer interested in labour. The Public have turned off and are way more interested in what the leader of the next Government has to say. I would have thought that this being Labour's Congress the Agenda Programme would have had a senior Labour member fronting - but the opportunity went to National.

What an utterly misleading post, Jordan. Your picture shows A Congress Protest, not THE Congress Protest. Matter of fact, there were MANY Congress Protests last weekend. Seems Labour have pissed off a lot of different groups of citizens. Lindsay Mitchell posted THE TRUTH, at http://lindsaymitchell.blogspot.com/2008/04/protesting-efa.html. Please honour your readers with the same standard of non-lying.

Busted again Jordan. Keep playing it down, it makes you look even more dishonest. You might have tripped yourself up anyway as you said Cullen was "jostled" by this rowdy bunch.... ahh, so you're saying these 3 or so people were preventing the 100+ delegates getting out, setting off fire alarms and then harrassing older people. Nice.
Kiwiblog noted that the alarm wasn't set off by protestors either. Not too sure why they didn't hose down that embarrassing screeching anti John Key song either.
