I was- hmm, I missed the news report but I didn't think we were that rowdy. noisy, yeah, but me and L were quite close upfront- if you were watching closely and they panned, you might have seen our hats! Lucy's was bright pink and mine was red! On the other hand, the people on the steps got quite close up and were all waving signs so perhaps it seemed worse, from Helen's perspective, than it really was... was not impressed with behaviour of a bunch of frankly tasteless National supporters who had clearly come intending to be aggressive, in a group all waving banners a lot of which basicaly said "You're ugly, Helen". Pissed me off because
a) that's frankly rude and tasteless and
b) they were the reason the crowd was up so close- they kept moving forward.

I mean I don't think Helen was in any physical danger or whatever but they also made it difficult to SEE.
