Looking bock at history

July 22, 1999 is the 13th anniversary of the attempt by myself, Colin Amery and

Yvonne de Gatton to prevent the release of the two French saboteurs Alan Mafart and Dominique Prieur from leaving New Zealand. Mafart and Prieur were prema turely released. At the 11th hour, I mad at France and determined to stop their release, drew Colin Amery to my cause and this Sagittarian with his bow battled hard to strike the target low. But alas, though judge Wallace declared, “Let them (the prisoners) appear at 10am the following morning”.

Solicitor General Paul Neazor aborted the proceedings. The pair flew out that night under cover of darkness, fled and New Zealand’s honour and integrity bled. Where is justice when sheepbrains are at stake?

Where is honour when politicians make deals renege and like the plague spread their vile disgusting spew upon the popu lace anew?
