Ringo Starr beheaded in Liverpool

Sorry, Borrell, you’ve been topped – or rather ex-Beatle Ringo Starr has, by green-fingered vandals.
The drummer, you may recall, had the temerity to suggest on the Jonathan Ross show back in January that he missed nothing about the home city he’d serenaded at the ‘European Capital of Culture’ launch just days previously.
That’s the most obvious lead being touted after a topiary of the drummer was found sans bonce this morning, though there remains the possibility that the ‘beheading’ has more to do with Starr's vastly overreaching sense of his own importance just ‘cause the media can’t speak to the two dead ones any more and McCartney, well, he’s harder to get at.
That and the fact he wears sunglasses indoors.
On the other hand, we’re keen to dismiss a city whose collective conscience seems to mirror that of a weeping, unhinged mob boss recklessly perceiving everything as a slight against “the family”.
Still, that's pretty magnificent and sheer weight of numbers means we come down on the side of the city – the sculpture took 18-months to cultivate and had only been on show at Liverpool’s South Parkway for a fortnight. Fast work.

Too true.
I fucking despise being called a traitor or some other such bullshit by a crying horde of 'proffesional scousers' whenever i object to anything remotely Merseyside related, despite the fact i was born and have lived here for my entire life.
FUCK OFF!
^ Playing into the hands of those who call Liverpudlians a bunch of moaning whingebags....
...by being a moaning whingebag.
He blatantly is.
Blatantly.
Claiming to be from Wigan is just a cover to enable him to have a little cry.
HAHA!
A valid point.
It is.
I love the shot of the Garston council houses in the background.

I wish they'd decapitated the real thing.
Fucking hell

@ Ringo Starr
@ the joker/s who beheaded the topiary
@ the sad bastard who bothered to cultivate the topiary in the first place
@ the predictable anti-scouse sentiment
@ people who get wound up too easily
Yawn
