There’s a Whale in the Thames
ByNo really, there is. And it could be hurt. And it might not make it back out to sea. Follow events at Londonist (via Gothamist).
3pm GMT latest from Londonist:
If it is ill, it may have to be put out of its misery, as it is simply too big to treat. After just over an hour of not being spotted it’s just resurfaced near Battersea Park.

Hah, it actually is a whale. I saw this headline today and skipped over assuming it was a stupid play on words or something. Joke’s on me. I wonder what was going through its head as it swam up the Thames – or down it (who knows).
“It’s not a simple matter of ’shooing’ the whale back into the water.” God I can just picture it.
