Many moons ago, when I was a moderator of little beard growth, a small campaign coalesced around the idea that grey squirrels were actually foreigners who had over-stayed their welcome. The campaign wanted (wants?) to eradicate the grey rodent menace - or perhaps eat them. Once this had been brought to the attention of the group we noticed that the local Sciurus Carolinensis infestation has a peculiarly psychotic temperament. This thread serves the public by keeping track of the latest sightings of the grey menace.
Metaphors with the current political situation are [probably, perhaps ... maybe] coincidental.
