There's an article about it in yesterday's Daily Telegraph. They're
being found in huge numbers but many are the rotten furriners called
Harlequins. It's beginning to sound like a sort of red squirrel v.
grey squirrel thing.

Just like the squirrel thing it's a triggered a warped killing frenzy
of the little blighters. I have about two dozen in my house of both
species and most just huddled away in a corner not causing anyone any
harm. I'm happy to have them. It's a sad day when someone see's
something beautiful and just has to kill it first and then make up
excuses for it afterwards.

Sort of explains why the world is so troubled with that kind of
mentality.

I tend to agree. I only kill 'pests', and let nature take care of the rest.
