I see Margaret Thatcher has been reincarnated as a horse.

This like most things on the internet this is bollocks (or more fitting, horse shit). Obelisk didn’t conceal food, the pigeons fed on crumbs from food given to the horses by tourists. Any pigeon was killed by accident.

This lie comes from this article https://www.thefield.co.uk/country-house/queens-horses-black-beauties-knightsbridge-31908 which also lies about a horse called "Boomer" running away from the escort of Prince Charles and Lady Diana wedding in 1981. The horse was called Wildfire and ridden by Shotgun Mills and while it ran away, they didn't rejoin the escort after having a drink. The escort was also going towards St Paul's which is the opposite direction to Whitehall

Both those horses were specifically Blues and Royals horses

So your tabloids are even writing made up shit about horses and not just the wifes of footballers

😆😆😆 yeah pretty much anything can be used for clickbait news with them

While you may be correct and this story is made up, I still prefer my fake online entertainment. Please don't take it away from me.

I get where you're coming from. These stories are still funny and entertaining even if not quite true. Apologies for being a buzz kill 🙂

Or in the case of American politics, arrogance is bliss

You guys ever see a horse eat a baby chick? I have. The only thing surprising about this is that he wasn't eating the pigeons.

Very few animals pass up easy protein when given the chance.

You think these pigeons are pinching chips?

Pigeons are just seagulls that somecunt bought from wish.com

Just like the actual monarchy, with gold and peasants

Probably just needs entertainment while standing on the street corner all day.

Old post, everyone knows Obelisk now heads up a Fortune 500 company.

Some horses just want to watch the world burn

Just say ACAB, dude. Trying to put it into some code only obfuscates the very message you're trying to convey and makes you look like a white nationalist to boot.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

yeah i really dislike it too because it looks cowardly, like the pussies who use dog whistles and try to sneak 1488 and other codes into their messages. ACAB is a stance to be proud of.
