In a break from tradition, here we have a story of a fox making it's way into a child's bedroom, not to savage it but to have a nap.
Furry-tired Mr Fox! Daring cub creeps into townhouse, trots up flight of stairs and curls up in schoolboy's bed for a SNOOZE
Predictably the comments are divided between the cutesy-wootsey

and the barking racist
Quote:
Hmmm methinks we are not being told the real FACTS of this story. The second picture claims to be of the 'child' and his mother when it clearly isn't. Where did this 'child' come from and what is it's contribution, if any, to ENGLISH society? I have phoned the police and instructed them to carry out a thorough investigation.

There seem to be two MrMickRoachs. I think it was meant humorously.

I'm sure there are two, a sensible one and a tosser, I think the former is stalking the latter. However I'm sure this one is the real McCoy, there's no humour, parody or irony there, just a self-righteous, racist, paranoid, self-important, cunt........... being a cunt.

It didn't strike me as funny, but surely nobody however racist you think it a police matter.

"Dina closed the bedroom door on the fox and called the RSPCA, who took her away." I hadn't realised that the RSPCA rehomed people, but I'm definitely interested in taking her.

In Mick's mind it is impossible for a white woman to be the mother of a black child as stated in the article. The child is therefore clearly an illegal immigrant smuggled in to claim benefits. The woman is obviously the fixer. I don't believe for a second that he has phoned the police, but can imagine the hilarity at the nick if he had.

I read that as anti-Mail irony.

I've obviously got no sense of humour. I can't see what's so funny about it.

Anyway following the racist we have the sexists

Why on earth would she keep a fox in a child's room? These animals live in the wild, and often bear disease. Have the child protection authorities been alerted? I wonder if this mother may have a legal case to answer.

I like the way the Mail have tried to put an anti-BBC spin on this article:

The fox attack myth, by BBC man: Chris Packham says he doesn't believe people who are attacked by the animal

Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... z1swJtHdKd

The paper's position is made plain by the final few paragraphs:
Quote:
In May 2010 baby twins Lola and Isabella Koupparis had to spend a week in hospital after a fox crept into their cots at their home in Hackney, East London, and savaged their arms.

Last year London student Mario Castilli woke up to find a fox biting him on the face while he lay in his attic bedroom.

Failwatch regular Malcolm Armsteen has regularly complained about foxes crapping in his garden.

What bollocks in the comments.
Foxes are very timid in the face of any sort of aggression, so long as they have an escape route. My mother had a tame one as a pet when she was young. I've seen plenty chased away by quite slovenly cats.
It's not their aggression I object to, it's their incontinence.

Indeed, foxes will always try and run away, and only get aggressive when they can't. Squirrels are the same, and you don't see the Mail calling for them to be shot.

I call for them to be shot, grey ones anyway.
