Okay, National supporters, I understand that sometimes, when you're desperate or bored, cheap shots at the Labour leader's appearance or personal characteristics are just necessary. Hey, I've been known to do it myself, although I flatter myself that at least I don't usually abuse Brash's physical appearance.

But why would you spend the morning chalking "Helen is a man" and "Helen has a penis" all over the campus? Because let me tell you: there is only one response to that, and that is "But Don Brash hasn't got BALLS."

My icon has never been more appropriate.

I need to go home and change into something red now, because me and

sixth_light are gonna go watch Helen speak outside the library at 12.30 and for some reason when I got up this morning I must have though "I know, I'l wear BLUE today! Jeans, jumper AND skivvy. Sigh... I don't know that I actually have anything red except a hat, wristbands, boots and a too-small top, but NEVER MIND.

Vote Labour!

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.
