Pigeons in the Parliament

I struggle to take the Scottish parliament seriously. After destroying what little credibility they had by spending all of my money on a completely mis-managed comedy theatre for politicians, they are now arguing over pigeons.

Back in April of last year, this article reported that pigeons had been piddling on the parliament: "droppings and feathers have landed on their (MSPs) desks after getting through window and air vents", "Pigeon poo is very unsightly and it's causing a bit of a niff in some parts of the building."

Yet today I read that after spending unspecified monies on "anti-roosting spikes" (sounds quite painful), they are still there - and it might cost the taxpayer £250 per nest to ship them off for a holiday on the west coast.

"Spokesman Ross Minett said: We believe the general public would be supportive to these animals being taken to a wildlife centre rather than killed unnecessarily."

For once I completely agree. I don't believe in unnecessary killing of politicians. Maybe the pigeons could be left to poo all over the Parliament in peace and safety if anti-roosting spikes were installed in MSP seating areas!!
