One of the Queen's swans has been found killed and barbecued on the riverbank near to Windsor Castle.

The cooked swan's carcass was dumped near Baths Water, and was discovered by Wendy Hermon, 46, a volunteer for charity Swan Lifeline, which cares for sick and injured birds.

She described the scene as 'sickening', and admitted she would have been distraught if her young son was with her when she made the grisly discovery after being called out by a council warden last Sunday.

Something a bit suspicious about that.

Just saying.

Thank goodness, they were talking about a bird, considering the nicknames the Brits have for things......

I bet there was more meat on that bird than on this bird:

Is that what they refer to as heroine chic?

I like how the article warns readers that one of the photos is “graphic.”

Geez, roast swan was on the royal menu from the Middle Ages until the discovery both of America and the wild turkey.

Roast turkey, unlike swan, isn’t drenched in grease.

The swans of the Thames are known to be mean. Like break your arm with winged knucklebone kind of mean.

Do muzzies eat at KFC?

That's funny - KFC is actually very popular in the Arab World. There is one next to the our layover hotel in London and Kuwait. There are many Burkas in the London store which is at Marble Arch on the northeast corner of Hyde Park.

Scotland Yard now has a lead.
