  8. It is our duty to help eradicate vermin - especially the non-native types. The grey squirrel is a foreign species which has proliferated and displaced our native red squirrels almost to the point of extinction. The reds are only to be found in a parts of Scotland a few minutes enclaves in England like the Isle of Wight.

  10. With autumn already here and winter not far away, some of us will experience problems with grey squirrels. They can gain access to lofts and sheds causing damage and contamination. They also have a habit of ring barking shrubs in the garden Grey squirrels are officially classified as vermin and anyone is legally entitled to take control measures. This, however, can only be done legally if approved equipment is used in the manner specified by Dept. of Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA). We have the appropriate equipment which is DEFRA approved and which provides the solution. It is efficient humane, cost effective and will not harm any non-target species ?except rats. We can provide a complete service or simply supply you with the kit to do the job. Please PM me and I will further details.

In 1979 the SNP went through the division lobby with the Tories to defeat Callaghans govt in a vote of no confidence. OK, it wouldnt happen today but it did.

Do not forget the Labour government survived a motion of no confidence in December 1978 by ten votes after negotiating the support of the Ulster Unionists. Party leaders, in my view, will do anything to get back in to power. Similarly MP's will compromise their views to get elected so I would not rule anything out. A supply and confidence arrangement can be made to appear palatable to most.

If the election result was switched between Con & Labour, most of Labour would be sorely tempted to do a deal with the DUP after 7 years out of power. Even JC might compromise a few of his principles to become PM. If he didn't then there might be a coup.

The DUP are stuck in a 1970's time warp. But hang on a bit, that's just like Jeremy who wants to take us back to nationalisation, union militancy, widespread strikes, flight of capital, plus wastefull spending funded by borrowing leading to devaluation of Sterling.
