Michael Gove caught fingering pigeon

The Secretary of State for Justice has been caught on camera with his finger up a pigeon.

In images too disturbing even for the internet, Michael Gove is seen luring the innocent bird toward him with a packet of birdseed and a special edition Blu-Ray of Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds.

“It was quite shocking,” said photographer, Simon Williams.

“I assumed he was just playing a game with the little mite, but then what he did…well, my camera speaks for itself, but I’d rather not go into detail.

“Between this and David Cameron with that pig, the government seems to be cracking through the principle cast of Charlotte’s Web at an alarming rate.”

Michael Gove has long been referred to as a “pigeon fancier” in and around the palace of Westminster, with few people aware of what that actually meant.

A spokesperson for the Ministry of Justice said ,“The Justice Secretary absolutely denies these allegations.

“While Mr. Gove does enjoy the sight of a pigeon – and let’s face it, who doesn’t? – he absolutely did not insert his index finger into one, and nor was the pigeon blatantly gagging for it, the little tease.”
