Ratmageddon: Why rats are overrunning our cities

One morning last year, John Gladwin opened the cupboard under his kitchen sink and discovered a bag of soil he'd been storing there was torn to shreds.

Days later he noticed a pungent smell too. It was musty and slightly astringent, not unlike the communal bin area in his block of flats.

"I knew what it was straight away," he says. "Rats."

He'd often seen them scurrying around near bins. Now they were inside his home too.

"I heard them in the cupboards and behind the bath panel. One morning when I woke up they were fighting under the bath, screaming and squealing."

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.
