Ken Livingstone Vs the Pigeon Fanciers

(BBC Online)
Whatever you think of Ken Livingstone, you cannot deny that in the past six years, Trafalgar Square has cleaned up and is now spacious, comfortable, and complete with a coffee shop. Whereas some years back it was dirty, narrow, and you had to be careful where to sit for fear of bird s**t!
Now you would think that people would be greatful, but it seems that some pigeon fanciers think it is better to have the former situation and that feeding pigeons who are a general nuisance and c**p everywhere is better than having a clean tourist site (which incidentally is very popular at this time of year, complete with the annual Christmas tree from Norway)
Okay, maybe I am being facteous and slightly unkind, but I honestly cannot understand how anyone would want a change from the lovely Trafalgar Square we have at present!

During my election campaign one couple told me they weren't going to vote for me "because Labour are the killer party".

Oh no, I thought, another Iraq story.

"That Ken Livingstone killed all the pigeons in trafalgar square. He's a killer" they said angrily.

"You have the blood of thousands of pigeons on your hands!" They kept saying to me.

Needless to say, they weren't going to vote for me.

Still won though, despite the pigeon abuse/crap

Well I can't see much popular support behind it, that's for sure!
