[BITList] Polite

[John Feltham]

From a correspondent...


> APPARENTLY….
>  
> Even polite Australians are fed up with protestors.
>  
> This story was submitted by someone who witnessed the incident in an
> underground station in Melbourne.
>  
> "There were protesters on the Flagstaff station concourse handing out
> pamphlets criticising Australia for its policy towards political refugees,
> Muslims who were looking for a better life, participation in the Iraq war
> and continued presence in Afghanistan.
>  
> I was approached by a protestor with a pamphlet but politely declined to
> take one.
>  
> An elderly woman behind me was getting off the escalator and a young
> (20-ish) female protester offered her a pamphlet, which she also politely
> declined.
>  
> The young protester put her hand on the woman's shoulder as a gesture of
> friendship and in a quiet voice said; 'Madam, don't you care about the
> children of Iraq?'
>  
> The elderly woman looked up at her and said; 'My dear, my father died in
> North Africa during World War 2, I lost my husband in Korea and my grandson
> in Afghanistan.
>  
> All three died so you could have the right to stand here and criticise our
> country.
>  
> If you touch me again, I'll stick this umbrella up your arse and trust me,
> I'll open it'."
