    Olivia Harrison, the widow of the late Beatle George Harrison, has renewed her plans to put up a razor wire security fence around her home. She has come under fire for this decision even though she is arguing that it's for her safety.

    WENN reports that Mrs. Harrison has requested permission from her local council to erect a seven-foot high fence around her lavish mansion in Henley-on-Thames in a bid to keep herself safe from trespassers. Ugh! That must be a headache.

    However, Harrison's desire to put up the fence has pissed off her neighbors, rightfully so. One said, "I can't think of a more unneighbourly act than putting up razor wire."

    Team Olivia Harrison or Team Her Neighbors?
