Shocking moment woman is handcuffed and fined £100 for feeding pigeons in London
UK Standard ^ | 1/10/2026 | Sami Quadri

A woman was placed in handcuffs by police and fined £100 for feeding pigeons in London.

Video footage captured by a passerby showed the woman being detained by a group of officers and council enforcement workers in Harrow on Wednesday.

A notice later handed to the woman showed she had been stopped for breaching a Public Spaces Protection Order which covers town and district centres in Harrow.

The woman, who was visibly upset at times, was surrounded by at least six police officers and two council enforcement officers.

The incident unfolded at around 3pm on Wednesday on the High Street in Wealdstone, London.

Police were seen searching the woman's pockets while a man filming the encounter repeatedly challenged the officers over the stop.

Her possessions were confiscated and placed in a plastic bag by officers, although they were later returned.

The woman, who has not been identified, was placed in the back of a police van but was later released.

She had been handed a note by police which showed she had been detained for feeding the birds. The particulars of the offence were described as "throwing bread on the floor".

"The woman, who was visibly upset at times, was surrounded by at least six police officers and two council enforcement officers."

Meanwhile, how many knifings, rapes, and honor killings were going on in Londonistan?

Tower of London, Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Windsor Castle, Churchill Bunkers, etc. All things I would have loved to see in London and more. However now London is on its way to becoming Pyongyang.

Great question. I doubt that was the worst case in the city.

Six officers pulled out of Crosstown Doughnuts and the Dum Dums donut shop in London.

Exactly what I was thinking! One of my favorite songs...and apparently it was Walt Disney’s himself.

I guess the fascists would have thrown the ancient bird lady on the cathedral steps in prison, too.

The devil worshippers are only about 10% away from controlling London anyway, the cops will be the first ones to go. It won’t be long so we’ll see it in our lifetime.

There goes the “Tuppence a Bag” song down the censor memory hole.
