Walker?

Written by 

The Hound had to laugh on hearing that the sanctimonious, whining vegan cafe owner who refused to serve cow milk to customers has now closed his shop and will walk the length of New Zealand barefoot in protest.

Morgan Redfern-Hardisty altered his menu in July to ban real milk, deciding to serve only plant-based products in an attempt to reduce his environmental impact. However, the Mangawhai Activity Zone (MAZ) Charitable Trust which owned the land, premises and paid all the overheads for the café, insisted – after public complaints – that the café manager must include dairy options for customers who asked for it. Your old mate reckons this spoilt, attention-seeking, new unemployment statistic has misspelt ‘walker’ and is in fact just a wanker.
