“Are you going to do something about these mice?”
For students of the finer points of the English language this is what is known as a rhetorical question. It is a question with a known outcome. The outcome being if you don’t do something about these mice you’ll just get asked again. And again. So, try a wee Unionist diversionary tactic to lead the rhetorical questioner away from the point. It works for them.
