We study the zero-temperature persistence phenomenon in the random bond $\pm J$ Ising model on a square lattice via extensive numerical simulations. We find strong evidence for ` blocking\rq regardless of the amount disorder present in the system. The fraction of spins which {\it never} flips displays interesting non-monotonic, double-humped behaviour as the concentration of ferromagnetic bonds $p$ is varied from zero to one. The peak is identified with the onset of the zero-temperature spin glass transition in the model. The residual persistence is found to decay algebraically and the persistence exponent $\theta (p)\approx 0.9$ over the range $0.1\le p\le 0.9$. Our results are completely consistent with the result of Gandolfi, Newman and Stein for infinite systems that this model has ` mixed\rq behaviour, namely positive fractions of spins that flip finitely and infinitely often, respectively.
