Clockwork

Once you realize what a joke everything is, being the Comedian is the only thing that makes sense.

I still think the met should get a tortoise.  :P

(Genuinely it could be awesome for crowd control - got a bunch of rioting students? Tired of the danger and additional threat created by kettling them? Simple, stop their movement and neutralise any threat by sending in a load of really adorable animals, they'll be far too busy cooing over them to give the met any trouble whatsoever.)

I thought this was headed in an entirely different, "attack rowdy protesters with birds of prey", kind of angle.

Given I'm more likely to be on the receiving end of protest policing than the police end, it would be very much against my interests to argue that the met should attack protesters with eagles. Unless my plan was to become the best falconer in the world and start the glorious revolution by turning their eagle army against them at the crucial moment. Which it definitely totally isn't. Honest.

Well that's a shame, because you should totally do that :P
