C'mon you reds.

Definitely think habitats suitable for reds need protection and spread of greys should be controlled. I did read somewhere that the reds' breeding season was changing in response to climate change; an adaptation giving them a little evolutionary edge over greys.

Although greys have responded by training some people to go to parks and hand feed them.

I'm with you HAB (in a staying safely behind you at all times kind of way). Drive out the and even more importantly, get rid of the bloody parakeets that have taken to swarming around my garden.

They look quite pretty at first but then they open their beaks and screech. Five years ago we'd get one or two. Yesterday I saw/heard a flock of about thirty.

I for one welcome our new migrant squirrels. They're far more resilient and hard-working than the local chavs. Let market forces decide! The grey squirrels are here because they eat the nuts the locals don't want to.

Telegraph: Red squirrels fight for survival

Dr Craig Shuttleworth is a hero – a red squirrel hero. For years there has been a myth that Britain’s endemic red squirrel is doomed and that the march of the alien grey squirrel cannot be curtailed.

It is a myth propagated by those with a political animal-rights agenda and by organisations such as Defra. This line is even promoted by some Wildlife Trusts, which choose to tiptoe through the anthropomorphic world of modern, Disneyfied Britain, putting warped political correctness and public relations before conservation. The argument has been that the grey squirrel can never be properly controlled and that “nature” should be given free rein. This is the view of the online “Professor Acorn”, complete with grey squirrel merchandising, who writes as if he is a squirrel.

Recently, Dr Ian Rotherham of Sheffield Hallam University (author of Peat and Peat Cutting) said controlling grey squirrels was “eco-xenophobia”. He said of schemes involving population management “that they resonate with ideas growing with the BNP in the UK, and with other right-wing groups across Europe”.

Typical of those evil socialists to destroy this once great country of ours. 'British nuts for British squirrels', I say.

Anyone that supports the is an idiot or a traitor. If they are foreign they should be kicked out the country.
