Poor little Angus can't post here without mentioning and trying to disparage me. It is an
obvious attempt to try and divert attention from his inability to justify any of his
claims or to provide answers to questions.

And all Angus can do is to repeat his nonsense. There is no "research" to back up his
ludicrous claims about how red squirrel remains reached caves in the Wye Valley far above
any possible floods post-ice age, or sites in Devon or the Isle of Wight. If there were,
I would know about it, but there isn't as Angus has invented it.

A famliar phrase from Angus which can be translated as "I can't answer your question".
Well, of course he can't. He doesn't have any answers.

There is no "!research" that supports your ever more risible claims about the status of
the red squirrel in Britain, only your inventions which are not supported by any facts.

A particularly silly claim coming from someone who is unable to produce any facts to
support his claims that the red squirrel is not a native species of Britain. The
archaeological remains prove that it is. The Doggerland bridge between the continent and
England provided the means by which it reached here post-ice age, and all the nonsense
about the fur trade merely demonstrated that Angus doesn't know how to undertake proper
research into a subject.

The above is all true, Angus.
All the evidence is there that shows the red

The phrase "all the evidence is there" is not only a lie but strongly suggests
self-delusion. In all the long threads about red squirrel you have yet to produce one
single piece of *evidence* to support your claim that the red squirrel is not a native.
All you have produced is invention, lies and speculation, all of which is very easily
countered by reference to the actual facts.

Oh look, Angus is once again trying to divert attention by referring to Scotland. The red
squirrel is native to *Britain*, Angus, and nothing you have produced over the years has
changed that status one iota. You have failed, yet again.

I didn't forget my age, Angus. Why have you lied?
