| [Jpost] A labor strike among waste collectors has led to a major incident being declared in the United Kingdom, as 17,000 tonnes of trash have piled high in Birmingham, England’s second-largest city. Birmingham City Council described the ongoing situation as “regrettable,” according to Sky News. Despite the sanitary conditions of the city causing a public health concern, picket lines continue to prevent waste vehicles from accessing depots and or collecting trash. |

| #10 National Invasive Species Awareness Week ... is here to remind us that some of the biggest ecological nightmares are critters that don’t belong here. Critters wander around all the time. The fundamental problem with invasive species is that no one is eating them. Wait, when you say 'invasive species', do you mean migrants? |

| #2 How could a rat get that big w/o being eaten? Perhaps the big ones *are* being eaten and these are just the runts. |

| #1 We call them Possums here in the South. But! On a sightly more seriously note, I have to ask. Given the massive numbers of boated in illegals that London now houses. How could a rat get that big w/o being eaten? ☺ |
