Keeping the help in line

This from Andrea Vance:

The bus driver taking National leader John Key on a tour of the North Island has been ticked off after talking to journalists.

Reporters on the campaign coach began interviewing John Godfrey when the entourage stopped off in Stratford to greet party supporters.

Godfrey, who was in the middle of explaining he has driven more than one million miles in his 20 year career, was dragged off by an aide in a National party t-shirt.

She could be seen though the windows gesturing at him to emphasise a point.

When reporters approached Godfrey a few minutes later to resume the interview, he said ”no comment.” Asked if he had been told not to talk to journalists he repeated ”no comment.”

The coach is on the Wellington-New Plymouth leg of a two day trip up.

Looks like keeping Key’s image up means keeping the help in line. Not a good sign for all the other working Kiwis John wants to govern…
