James Blunt, the man behind hit singles "You're Beautiful" and "Goodbye My Lover", is aware of the way the NZ Government is responding to the protesters outside Parliament - and he's keen to help.
Never one to miss an opportunity for a self-deprecating joke, Blunt tagged the NZ Police on Twitter, offering to help out in case blasting Barry Manilow doesn't send protesters home.
"Give me a shout if this doesn't work @nzpolice," the British singer wrote, alongside a BBC article on how Manilow's music is being used to try to repel parliament protesters.
Blunt's tweet immediately went viral in New Zealand, with people calling Blunt a "top bloke" and applauding his "sense of humour".
