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🌍
We do - the noise was redolent of the Old Firm derby rather than serious government at work during the annual fiscal event. With the drunks and jeering all that was missing were the songs, racism, vomit and some arrests.

And yet, here we have these octogenarians delaying the Assisted Dying private members bill.

Normally, the fagash fuhrer doesnt skip a beat. This is one of those times he's like a rabbit caught in the headlights. Could it be he is unnerved by the prospect of his victims coming forward with tales of school yard breaks hits.

No we do not. If he was honourable, truthful and worthy of the top job, his response might have been something like,

'Sure, I was a bully. It was a jungle and everyone including the teachers was a bully back then. Thats why the law changed on race relations, and why corporal punishment was banned'

So, pensioners who protest against genocide and war crimes will not have a trial by their peers.

What next, hanging judges?

Yes, directly!

An interesting choice of words from the man who would be PM.

If he understood how equalities legislation has developed since 1976 when he was a school boy bully, he would know that direct and indirect are equally bad, and not condoned in law.

The Don tells everyone 'He holds all the cards, Zelenskyy does not.'

Better stick with Vegas, less gangsters.

This is because MTGs career has like the neanderthals become extinct.

Evolution not Revolution.
