Bull crap

Written by 

This old mutt almost choked on his dog biscuits at Winston Peters’ latest ridiculous claim to being a dairy farmer – when he had a crack at ‘National party stooge’ Mike Hosking, recently.

The Hound would like to know exactly when the double-breasted, suit wearing visitor from St Mary’s Bay in Auckland last stepped onto a farm and did anything other than bluster? Given he has been an MP since 1978, and before that claims to have been a lawyer and a teacher. So, going by his admission, the former Minister of Baubles and anti-free trade activist has pretty much had 50 years of NOT being a dairy farmer and NOT working on a dairy farm. Pull the other one Winston; real farmers can see through your bull excreta!
