Crack-crazed squirrels terrorise South London

Be afraid

Stop us if you've heard this one: crack-addicted squirrels are
terrorising Brixton in Sarf London in a desperate search for a fix,
eschewing their traditional nuts and digging up residents' front
gardens in what appears to be a credible zoological threat to the
Yardies' hard-drug hegemony.

Yup, crack dealers and addicts have apparently taken to burying their
stashes in people's gardens in the streets around the centre of Brixton
after a police clampdown drove them from the thriving commercial heart
of the popular London district. Locals have spotted squirrels digging
in the same gardens, prompting speculation that they are already
addicted to rocks and will in due course take up semi-automatic weapons
and launch a violent challenge for the whole trade in illicit
narcotics, as is the local custom.

One fearful resident, who asked not to be named, told Life Style Extra:
"I was chatting with my neighbour who told me that crack users and
dealers sometimes use my front garden to hide bits of their stash. An
hour earlier I'd seen a squirrel wandering round the garden, digging in
the flowerbeds. It looked like it knew what it was looking for. It was
ill-looking and its eyes looked bloodshot but it kept on desperately
digging. It was almost as if it was trying to find hidden crack rocks."

The RSPCA said it had no reports of the "Brixton Crack Squirrel", but
did not completely dismiss the idea. ...

studio-based objects and sculptural installations.

These investigations are rooted in the exploratory practice
of responding to materials as diverse as glass,
wood, and wax.

that makes connections between man-made materials
and patterns naturally occurring
in nature."

Now all the players are crying,
And a turn style turns, flying

And the cuckoo isn't cooing,
But he's a cuckold and she's suing,
And Twitter's simply twittering,
Like a good scribbler."
