A wooden spoon for Larry Baldock

August 23, 2009

Smacking isn’t enough for Larry Baldock, the man who collected thousands of signatures for the referendum.

He wants to bring back the ruler and wooden spoon.  He was quoted in the Herald as saying,

“I’m not opposed to the wooden spoon or ruler because you can control things with that better than you can with an open hand.”

We’d like to thank Larry for showing his true colours.  And evidently Bob McCoskrie agrees with him. But where will it stop?
