Scientists have warned of a mystery decline in the nation’s beetles, with three quarters of the most common species recording declines in numbers, with several falling to “endangered” levels.

They didn't say anything about pesticides.  Usually that it is biggest cause of insects being in decline is it not?

tut tut, they are not going to admit it is  their  inventions that are wiping out some of the insects.
It did not take rocket scientists to find this out, years ago it was mentioned by farmers and people living in rural areas that the pesticides were having a dramatic effect on the insects, some mutated and some are slowly dying out, like the beetle.
the crops which have been sprayed with pesticides could quite easily have affected humans, but no doubt the scientists are not going to admit to this one too.
In an ideal World a law would be passed were NO guns were allowed and all those out there destroyed, trouble is the law makers are not going to take a risk of trying to pass that without making sure they are armed first.

Beatles? Well there's only two left now anyway, aren't there?

Life is a hideous business, and from the background behind what we know of it peer daemoniacal hints of truth which make it sometimes a thousandfold more hideous.

We still have Ringo and Paul. Well, Paul's double, at least.

this just shows why the beetles are being wiped out, look under his foot, he has just squashed one.

Yes, there's a big difference between the Beatles and beetles.  Might want to fix that topic heading.
