Updated 4 months, 1 week ago

The TaxPayers Alliance today even criticised firefighters for saving a duck.
The Press Association reported today that firefighters were described as going “beyond the call of duty” during the six-hour rescue of a pet duck from a water pipe.
Watch manager Chris Barton, from Stroud Fire Station, said the service had a humanitarian role and was able to answer the call as no other emergencies were going on.
Nevertheless a TaxPayersAlliance spokesperson fumed:

Anatidae sum it is too.
(Sorry!)
‘Can’t we just drown the Taxpayers Alliance spokesperson instead?’
You are mallard-justed.
And once again it’s the public who foot the bill.
Is there a Home Office policy on this too that we don’t know about?
Obviously there was a conspiracy by ZaNuLabour to rub the faces of the right in duck celebrating diversity while condemning the hamsters because they didn’t vote for them.
Can’t we just drown the Taxpayers Alliance spokesperson instead?
‘Sure, you are quick to condemn ducks, tarring all with the same brush while ignoring the millions of moderate law-abiding ducks, but I notice you say nothing about dolphins. I think we know where these double standards come from.’
You are suggesting I ignored sexual violence among cetaceans on porpoise?
Shatterface,

Presumably the water pipe had a function which was being impaired by having a duck in it. Pulping a living duck to get it out without making an effort to save it would be bad PR and possibly illegal.
If they weren’t actually doing anything else then this could be seen as a useful training exercise for, um, something a bit like a duck in a water pipe.
As an Anatidaephobic, I

@RogersPhoneIn : Note RM carried quote from Taxpayers' Alliance on duck story http://bit.ly/9zTsW Can their lack of independence be flagged?
I suppose they deserve partial credit for not trying the usual fraud of claiming it cost some arbitrary, large, amount of money (say £10,000), obtained by apportioning the cost of the equipment and staff wages, while ignoring that it would still have to be spent even if they weren’t doing anyhting.
Ducks are gang rapists.
This is a case of flagrant discrimination which must be addressed by legislation.
A recent case in the news was a lady in northern parts who dialled 999 to summon aid for her trapped hamster only to have that dismissed as gross misuse of the emergency services.

Ooooh, Guido’s being edgy and controversial again! Watch out universe!
Love ducks myself, a la orange..
@4.
Actually, there is correlation between those with right-wing views and a lower marginal propensity to spend. That doesn’t imply causation of course, but there is an element of truth in the statement.
‘The trouble is, people who work for right-wing think tanks tend to be the sort of people who can imagine nothing better than an evening at home sniffing their money.’
Good grief. Overdoing the generalisations a bit aren’t we, dear boy? Its no wonder Liberals have replaced George Bush as the world’s ‘dummies’.
Lets hope Liberals never get elected

What if it was a duck house rather than just a duck? Would the Tory Quacks Payers Alliance have a problem then?

“Whilst no one likes to see a duck suffering,”
Unless of course it was a Palestinian duck.
And yes Tim can we please have some more Tory Muppet?
