There's a Rolf Harris joke in there as he's only 20 miles away from Oxford and wallabies must be easier to tie down than kangaroos.


He used to watch them feed, the perverted pervert!

It's a bit surreal when you're sitting in a park in Sydenham, hear a bit of chattering and suddenly 50 parrots launch themselves out of the trees!

I assume we are talking about the ring necked parakeet. Amazing birds. They can be found up north too. I have seen some in Manchester! Every now and again there are rumours that they will cull them back, but hasnt happened yet.

We need to build a wall to keep all the immigrant species out.

Make England Great Again.

I will build a great wall.

Three years ago there was a South American Rhea (like an ostrich) running around (at up to 40mph) in North Hertfordshire. It had become a local celebrity but then a gamekeeper went and shot it. Allegedly it was turned into gourmet sausages.

But will you make the parakeets and wallabies pay for it?

Will it be a wall of ignorance and stupidity (free) or of actual material? (plenty spendy)

Good. Let that be a warning to any wallabies that are too stupid or lazy to adapt.
Let that be a lesson to other, lesser species.....
