FOX NEWS ALL GOOD FROM PM

-

AS one Fox had just strolled through the door of No.10 Downing St, another – rather more bushy-tailed – clearly fancied its own brush with fame yesterday.

While Liam Fox, Britain’s Internatio­nal Trade Secretary, was in Cabinet, an urban fox brazenly strolled by the prime ministeria­l residence.

However, it did not take advantage of the door to No.10 in central London being ajar to join Prime Minister Theresa May and her ministers, including Dr Fox – not even to thank her for announcing that she would drop any plans to reintroduc­e the hunting of its country cousins.

A passer-by said of the fox: “He hobbled past once, and then came back the other way. He was limping, his back right leg was injured – he wasn’t a well fox. He had a nice face but he looked quite cute and sad.”

The animals are becoming increasing­ly confident in UK towns and cities, where their numbers have quadrupled in 20 years.
