#1 Labour Government: Well, hopefully the plague of frogs will eat the plague of rats and the plagues of flies and lice; maybe we can convince the NHS to shorten its 3-year waiting list for the plague of boils; and we can blame the Thames turning red on Man Made Global Warming.

We'll blame the deaths of all firstborn sons on Afghanistan and cut the military budget some more, then finally tell everybody that they should celebrate the unending darkness as diversity.

#2 Because rats breed on average five times a year, with seven or eight in each litter, growth can be rapid.

Jeebus, that's even higher than the Paleos!

#4 That's how the Black Plague started, as a result of the Global Cooling at the time.

#7 3dc, as I understand it the problem the last time around was that when the rats died of the pneumonic Bubonic Plague, the infected fleas jumped to the people. Killing the rats out in the open is perhaps not the best idea.
