Yeah looks as though they are giving the bird. A sincere way of propaganda switch.

Who gives a toss. Why is a retiring civil servant treated with such open reverence. He retired after doing his job. What is wrong with people thinking this is a big issue or this person is of any importance. Why is this even reported on?

I'm sure he's got a ' little something ' put by for retirement.

Perhaps the bird finger is a silent protest.............................
