Forget the war on terror. Forget about Iraq and Afghanistan. There's a bigger war afoot and I think it's a war that we can win but we can't duck and run.
What war is this you may ask?
Ken "Red Ken" Livingstone's war on pigeons. Six years ago the London mayor declared war on the "rats with wings" that haunt Trafalgar Square. He has even brought in a pair of hawks to hunt them down.
So far his efforts have proved largely unsuccessful as any recent visitor to the West End will tell you. The hawks have only managed to bag 121 pigeons over 3 years although 2,500 have disappeared one way or another. The operation has cost £226,000 or around £90 a bird.
Maybe Ken should bring in Ted Nugent and while he's here perhaps Mr. Nugent could pop round to the US embassy and collect£890,000 they owe us for the congestion charge. This would more than cover the cost of the pigeons and would leave more than enough to invite Hugo Chavez for another visit.
Lib Dems be damned Ken. This is no time to be soft. There's a war to win!
