There’s a fox on the loose in London — and it has DJ-turned-author Annie Mac’s Nike trainer. It was a sunny day in May when a particularly brazen fox crept into her lounge to pilfer the mint green Air Force 1. A day later, Ricky Gervais uploaded footage of a family of foxes playing on his lawn. One cub, with a pile of dirt behind him, was attempting to dig his way to China.
The urban fox has been creeping ever further into Londoners’ lives of late, rooting through bins, frolicking in gardens, and making THAT screeching night-time mating call. Foxes, by no fault of their own, have come to symbolise London’s sleaze; these days, it’s as common to see a fox on the steps of Downing Street as it is excited partygoers.
