Just pitched up for a spot of late night posting at ‘L’s, and found this in my inbox. Only a proper response from THE Brian Paddick - see post below.

The ‘Lib Dem’ only goes and replies with the personal touch. Back of the nest.

“Dear Brian

Thank you for this e-mail. I would want to see them humanely removed from the square, rather than withdrawing all feed. There must be another way.

Best Wishes,

Brian Paddick”

Nice. Like the sound of where he’s coming from too. Reckon ‘humane’ rocks as a concept, although not sure about being ‘removed’ from the Square, food or no food. Where would we go? Surely it would be back to square one? Anyways, he got back to me, and that’s what counts.

Nice one, Brian, and it’s not often I get to say that.

Oh - and while I’m at it, and before ‘L’ chucks me out - here’s what I got from Ken today:

“Dear Brian,

There are two days to go until the election, and I need your support to win.

Across the city, thousands of volunteers are delivering a million postcards to voters. They set out the stakes in this election: this is not a joke, it’s about serious issues that will decide the future of London…”

Blah blah fucking blah, and still no mention of the pigeon. Jesus.
