Please see attached picture of a billboard that was liberated on the eve of invasion day. What a nice thing to stumble across on my way home late one night.

Maybe England should have an invasion day for when the normans invaded them all that time ago?

The politics behind "invasion day" and "sovereignty" go much deeper than the racial discrimmination of aboriginal Australia.

Noel (and others),

it would be helpful (saving us time) if you could write your own headings.

Noel, I mistakenly destroyed the exchange between us about differences between the parties. If you've still got them somewhere, you're welcome to put them back up.
