Scurrilous election poster

File under: politics, scandals, Blumsky, Wellington

I'm posting this image (snapped somewhere in Willis St this lunchtime) purely to illustrate the depths to which personality politics have sunk in the run-up to the election. Some will believe that this has something to do with an unfortunate incident last month that may have involved vicious drug fiends, or perhaps a staircase.

The incident provoked a police investigation, accusations and counter-accusations, rather a lot of sniggering, and even a new verb and adjective ("to blumsky down the stairs" and "to get completely blumskied"). Of course it's all scurrilous, libellous rumour-monging, and while some may find it rather amusing, I couldn't possibly comment. After all, who could fail to be impressed by a man who owns a dog called "Winston"?
