We're all doomed...

Forget about G8 protestors - the really serious invasion is reported by The Herald:

"THE increasingly warm, wet weather is causing the Highland midge to spread south to the gardens of the Central Belt. Entomologists have reported that suitable breeding conditions have encouraged this particularly vicious species of the insect to branch out of its traditional terrain.As a result, an industry in midge eradication is booming. Thousands of gas-powered midge traps, priced from £400 to £1400, are being bought by householders and businesses to retaliate against the pest."
