Tory MP calls for "all wild animals" to be culled:

“Because if they don’t their health deteriorates. They don’t have any predators in today’s world. Foxes, deer, badgers. We don’t want to wipe them out, we just simply want them controlled.

“This is just pure common sense.”

(I think we could sensibly start by culling the implausibly-named Richard Grosvenor Plunkett-Ernle-Erle-Drax, MP. )

@cstross there’s seeing like a state and then being the state so long you can see anything any other way.

@cstross Was about to ask if this included Tories.

@youseeatortoise @cstross Clearly one is badly needed, given that they've overgrazed their territory and are clearly ailing as a result.

@cstross He really doesn't have a clue about how complex ecosystems are, does he?

Also, fuck, that's the guy's real name.

I thought you were making it up, like Monty Python's Tarquin Fin-tim-lin-bin-whin-bim-lim-bus-stop-F'tang-F'tang-Olé-Biscuitbarrel [Silly Party].
