Is Bill English the new Winston Peters?

Think about it. The dubious financial manipulations which happen to have worked out in his favour. The anger at being questioned about them. The insistence that the media - and by extension, we the people, Bill's employers - should move on, because he says so (1).

TO come, the accusations of a media conspiracy, the invoking of 'political correctness' and the 'urban liberal elite.' Then we'll know for sure.
