I was reading how they are putting pine martens in areas where the greys are encroaching on the reds and having some success. pine martens are very aggressive to greys and have been know to hunt them , but leave the reds alone.

Yup, the reds tend to stay up in the smaller branches where the Marten is too heavy to reach. Greys are more often on the ground and are a key part of the Martens' diet where available.

But Martens also eat birds and are hated by gamekeepers. They bring their own problems, Ireland is suffering from their effects for example.

Are you campaigning for UKIP Hoof? Hear they are looking for a new leader. Asian Wasps, Japanese Knotwood b******s.

Asian wasps and japanese knotwood's party talks would only descend into fisticuffs and anarchic fall out. Handbags at dawn especially if campaigning from Strasbourg.

Blame the Victorians.

Bringing back flora and fauna from other parts of the world together with animals and insects.

The mink is another violent pest... almost wiping out our native water voles who are defenceless against them.

we need to build a high wall around our coast line to stop all these foreigners coming over here taking our bees, hospital beds, crayfish, jobs, houses, squirrels etc.

We should breed even bigger British hornets. They would be coloured red white and blue and their buzz would resemble the opening lines to God Save the Queen.

and attach small smoke machines so they can omit the famous red, white and blue smoke of the Red Arrows

...they pollinate just like bees and Japanese knotweed is very edible, makes a lovely soup, apparently.

Do Asian Hornets produce honey?

Japanese Knotweed can grow through concrete... allegedly!... and some houses are refused a mortgage if it's found to be growing in the property garden or neighbouring gardens.

yep , I'm no expert but it does worry me that they think by just introducing some thing like a marten would help . it would then have its own problems , didn't the Australians have the some problem with a frog or was that a simpsons episode I'm getting mixed up with
