Brickbat: Hail, Caesar
(Underworld | Dreamstime.com)
In England, the Wakefield Council told homeowner Adele Teale to remove "Caesar," a 4-foot gorilla statue made of resin, from outside her house. In a letter, officials said the statue is "obtrusive" and has "caused harm to the greenbelt." Teale has had the statue at her current address for more than five years, without issues. But the council now says she needs permission as Caesar is "not a minor decorative feature" and "out of character with the surrounding area."
