British Army called in to fight Birmingham rats after piles of rubbish grow

1. “Gigantic 14-inch rats are roaming the streets of Birmingham, and it is so bad the Army has been called” Don’t tell me we’ve been living in the Jerma985 cinematic universe all along. I wonder if these giant rats have some sort of legislative power over other rats, the kind of mischief they could get themselves into is completely unpredictable

2. In all of this no one has stopped to think if maybe business might be to blame for all the packaging they force on us and there’d be a lot less bags if only law makers would act in our best interests

3. A peer enemy for british army, finally.

   Like in RPG games, they should level up on rats before talking about joining Ukrainian war or whatever they dream to do.

4. Jesus, British tabloids. The Guardian is [a way better source](https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/apr/13/army-planners-sent-in-to-help-clear-birminghams-rubbish).

   The army isn’t called in to shoot the rats or haul away the trash. A few Army staff are called in to provide logistics planning assistance.
