It isn't necessary to kill all grey squirrels everywhere in the UK just to
keep them out of Formby.


Wrong. It is vital, not just necessary, to kill grey squirrels
anywhere where they are putting our increasingly endangered red
squirrel populations at risk, including many areas in Scotland.

I doubt whether killing greys in the middle of Leeds is going to do
much to help reds in Scotland, or even in Cumbria.

No, and I didn't say it would.


I take your point that your 'wrong' referred to the 'just to keep them
out of Formby' rather than to 'It isn't necessary to kill all grey
squirrels everywhere in the UK'. Not very clear from your original post
though! ;-)
