Christopher Pryde defies all to take his treasonous oath
This Christchurch chap from New Zealand, Christopher Pryde, can be easily mistaken as one of those weird looking creatures in the film Lord of the Rings.
Most part of that film was shot at his Christchurch backyard anyway so Pryde can be excused for thinking that he is in that fantasy world while in juntawood.
This is the man who ran out of words when his counter argument for a stay order at the Qarase vs Frank & Co.s appeals court hearing was flung back at him by the three judges.
His face was red and his voice loud but shaky as he threw his weak trump card down.
Now that he is officially back with the new order crowd, one can easily predict what to expect from this clown Pryde – he will be back with a more vengeful and vindictive heart.
To Stay or Not To Stay
I understand your comments about CP, however I do not know him so I can’t add anything new. It is unfortunate if what you say is true about him getting tongue tied in regards to the stay application.
The C of App could have granted a stay to VB and co. if they decided to. As it was, how could the IG step aside on that day. Had a stay been granted it would have allowed for some plans to be made. Fiji would have been in anarchy if the courts orders were followed.
I see the arguments on both sides and understand the reasons why VB did what he did. I also understand why a lot of Fijians are upset. A stay may have opened the door to dialogue. It would also give Australia a reason to open the purse strings and assist with the electoral process.
It is easy for Aus and NZ to be crtical of the recent deveopments in Fiji. It is time for support and assistance not criticism. Too much political rhetoric and not enough discussion on solutions.
I agree with Dr Mago that VB should call for independent counsel to prepare a roadmap for Fiji.
It appears that many blogs on these sites are designed to create anger. It is easy to incite people to take drastic measures when a lot of the bloggers are not in Fiji.
A stay – pending appeal to the Supreme Court would have created the space Fiji needed to consider it’s next move. It may have prevented the Pres and PM from taking such drastic steps.
However, it is easy to comment after the fact and the C of App did what they thought best with the arguments presented to them.
Good Luck Fiji my thoughts and prayers are with you.

To dr mago and comment8r – do stay right away from Fiji, as far as you both possibly can PLEASE since you’re both not needed here, you bloody sucking bush-bunnies!
But please, do hve another read of the FCA judgment.. there was no exact timeline or precise deadline imposed on treasonous military junta to do the right thing hence, there was no need for a stay.. and therefore, the ‘ddd’ measures that followed (‘ddd’ – draconian, drastic and totally desperate) were totally unwarranted in any foreseeable and conceivable circumstance.
History is on the PEOPLE’s side and they shall prevail. Tick tock tick tock……………

Who advised the President? The AG could not have because he was not the AG after the CA decision.
