The dangers of modern 'brutalist' civic architecture and the feral urban swan

 


Little did Le Corbusier and Mies van der rohe know, when  they pushed the boat out on their brave architectural journey. God may be in the detail but these swans appreciate an urban opportunity when they see one. We can only guess what these 'two' are up to but our guess is 'up to no good'. 

In defence of these feathered miscreants, god knows what terrible diseases are endemic to our inland waterways.  Post Brexit and after the consequent abolition of all that frustrating red tape holding back British enterprise, swans may now enjoy a robust diet of raw sewage and other high protein supplements. In our considered opinion this only goes to make the buggers even more dangerous!

We have to thank the ever vigilant Willy from Southend, who braved entry to this potential watery and contaminated concrete grave in the making, to capture this sinister and nightmare image. Keep your children and stale bread close because one day they may come for you!
