Ego clash

Written by 

SPEAKING OF David Cunliffe, your old mate understands the new Leader of the Opposition turned down an offer to speak on the radio with Farming Show host Jamie ‘Don’t-you-know-who-I-am?’ McKay.

Typically, McKay has taken Cunliffe’s rejection to heart and whinged like a spoilt child at Christmas. The Hound suggests – seeing both men have a messiah complex – that any discussion would have fallen foul of their huge egos anyway. Farmers wanting less ego-tripping and more information do better to change stations and listen to Richard Loe’s On the Field radio show instead.
