They've yet to get over the dead chicken !!
Anfield 'tribute' to dead chicken!
A community mourning the death of a mystery "baby" was told today: "Stop grieving, it's only a chicken."
A makeshift shrine of flowers and cards sprang up after a member of the public discovered the remains of a foetus in a back alley in Anfield, Liverpool.
Merseyside Police cordoned off the scene to investigate, but tests soon revealed that it was only a chicken foetus.
The truth was reported in a local newspaper, but a rumour had already swept the area that a dead baby had been found.
More than a dozen bunches of flowers were laid at the scene by well-wishers, along with teddy bears and cards.
One card read: "RIP Little Baby. Safe in the arms of Jesus. From someone who is a loving mother xxxx." A spokeswoman for Merseyside Police stressed today that the remains were not human.
She said: "It seems a member of the public saw the remains of a foetus, which possibly resembled a human foetus, and called us.
"We cordoned off the area to investigate, as we would with any possible suspicious death, but it became apparent it was not a human foetus.
"The flowers and cards are obviously the result of local gossip, but we can assure people that the remains were not human."
Conservative MP Boris Johnson was forced to apologise last year after the Spectator magazine, which he edits, claimed that Liverpudlians typify "the mawkish sentimentality of a society hooked on grief".
