A retired carrier pigeon, but not retiring. A member of the silent majority who shouts at the cloud. If you are appalled by declining standards of governance and civic society then democracy and global peace are worth striving for🌍
The Pigeon Post is giving the last word on the budget to some wallah from THE TIMES, interviewed this morning on Times Radio. He bemoaned how the budget for benefits will deny hard working folk their dream of owning second homes!

Maybe they will now empathise with folk who struggle to own one home?

The Pigeon Post prediction for the budget, more tax revenues imposed on working people but no mention of how wasteful government spending is to be recovered.

As always, George Carlin is uncompromising and laser guided in his critique of the US socio-political system

For an entertaining 4 part mini series that examines how it evolved, watch Death By Lightning.

Superb retelling of the shortened 20th presidency of Jim Garfield.

Did the Pigeon Post miss-spell UKRAYNE, or was this subliminal messaging about it becoming a gangster state?
