I have been watching Bill English over the past few years. And while it is true that he comes at things from a financial point of view, he is not lacking in humanity. He has observed that it is better for the country to look after its children. He has advocated social housing. And while he might be slightly centre right, whatever that means, I have watched a man become more mature, wiser and more compassionate. For Hoskings to speciously call him a man without a pulse, and to seek to interfere in an important political process is not only beyond his remit, it his beyond his capacity for analysis.
