Thanks for that.
Yes, I saw a documentary about contraception for the Grey squirrel.
A few years ago, I heard a radio presenter suggest that we should be allowed to shoot them for food.
But such a solution could only be safely confined to those with the largest of back gardens, or vast country estates; and I don't fancy going for a walk in the woods whilst someone is wielding a weapon.
I wonder whether a similar (contraceptive) solution might be applied to the nuts in UK government?
😒
