You really couldn't make it up: Daily Mail. The original interview is from Uncut. Love how much the DM gets it wrong and the comments after the article

His autobiography's out on 24th of April- looks like an interesting read-ah!
Can't wait to read it-ah!

The Mail comments has the answer to your question:
Squirrels eat nuts and not garden fences. I think a small pinch of salt and a sense of humour is needed.

Only the Daily Mail could use the phrase 'punk rocker' without irony...

This is bizarre:
And out of those 95 albums, the journo singled out the tracks Disney's Dream Debased and DIY Meat? Why?
They aren't amongst the best-known Fall songs.

If they'd mentioned 'Free Range' it might have given the impression he was into animal rights.

I know the original question in Uncut was about red squirrels, if he did kill a couple, I'm sure he was just referring to squirrels in general, and probably meant grey ones. I mean, when did you last see a red squirrel? Let alone two.
I don't think it's illegal to kill the grey ones.
In fact, there's a weird law that if you trap grey squirrels you can shoot them, but it is illegal to re-release them:

They don't just eat nuts. Some squirrels ate the lead flashing off our bathroom roof a few years back, the guy fixing said he'd never seen anything like it before.
Agreed. He's a character. But hes a shit musician. Have never been able to figure out why hes revered - is it simply coz hes a total fucking nutter?

They just take the lead and then sell it. I've seen them do it.

It's because he's made some of the best music of the last 30 years and wrote some of the funniest/most intelligant lyrics to boot. And he's total value for money.
he isn't a musician at all, i don't think he claims to be

Maybe i better give Mark.E.Smith a call to get him to sort the little buggers out then? 
Tell that to Daily Mail reader Keith Webb, Winchester, UK.
Did you kill them with your bare hands, Paulie?

I'm more worried about these 2 lunatics turning up round me house tbh....
Maybe someone should go at him with some rather sizeable clippers.

What a disgraceful human being. How would he like it if I came round to his house and ran over him in my car or cut him up with hedge shears for nibbling on MY fence?
