Sir Bob Jones

In today’s Post newspaper correspondence Michael Barnett, has come up with a brilliant idea re funding the City Council. Specifically, he suggests imposing taxes on city commercial sites.

This was from a P.S. Waring of Eketahuna.

P.S. Waring wrote about “a certain regime” by which clumsiness he alluded to Russian aggression and concluded, “The time has come when we all need to get off our backsides”.

Doubtless, the Russian embassy in Wellington will read this and send an urgent cable to Moscow warning of this terrifying new Eketahuna threat to the Putin regime.
