Heard on radio4 this morning that some research workers working for the
government, have introduced an insect that feeds on JK to two secret
sites in the UK, apparently this insect will spread and will eradicate
JK in the UK. =-O

Let's hope it confines itself to the target weed. All too often these
introduced species prove uncontrollable and damage other "hosts".
