Remember

Written by  The Hound

Your canine crusader has long identified Shane Jones as, without doubt, the biggest buffoon in Parliament.

So his clownish and boorish antics at last month’s 50 Shades of Green rally in Wellington were unsurprising.

In this old mutt’s opinion, Jones is a mouthy, underachieving, blowhard – summed up perfectly by him booking up hotel porn to the taxpayer when he was a Labour MP.

Jones is the very embodiment of the untrustworthy, useless, narcissistic types who infest the NZ First Party.

Let’s hope farmers and other rural voters do not forget just how Jones and the rest of Winston’s motley rabble have derided and dismissed the sector since being in government and vote accordingly at the ballot boxes next year.
