Controversy Strikes Again in Trafalgar Square
Back in October there was quite the brouhaha in London over a certain statue of a naked, pregnant, disabled, woman. Now, the problem is pigeons. London mayor Ken Livingston wants to get rid of the pigeons in Trafalgar Square and has banned feeding them except for a group called Save the Pigeons and even they can only do it for ten minutes at 7:30 in the morning. Now a splinter group is feeding the pigeons in the afternoon and the mayor is threatening to end the ten minute morning slot. Perhaps in 2007 both problems will be solved when a new sculpture replaces that of Alison Lapper Pregnant. The title of the new sculpture? “Hotel for the Birds”.
