No, a lot of people online are really angry. I’m planning on doing the pennine way next year and it’s on the way. Very sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Bongo Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 You have to ask what the fuck made him do it ? Wanton vandalism is one thing - but humphing some sort of chainsaw to do it is malice aforethought Maybe he has had a family breakdown and the tree meant something in that regard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a fair point and I understand your point, but Sycamore Gap was not one tree amongst hundreds, thousands or millions; it stood in isolation and in a unique position. The reason so many people are upset/angered is because it appears to be an act of vandalism by an ars*h*le and people are connecting that with the general demise of respect in society with the increase in anti-social behaviour.

Particularly poignant when it happens coinciding with the State of Nature report about the poor state of flora and fauna in Britain. It is a one off incident of one particular very famous and much loved tree. It seems such a shocking, senseless act of vandalism symbolic of much else that is happening in the British Isles.

Orraloon Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 It's also indicative of the sense of self importance that exists amongst the population of the UK. They seem to think that "their tree" is much more important than the total vandalism which is destroying forests all over the world. Just so that they can go for a shopping day out to IKEA.

Rich NATA Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Reverend Calvin Robinson is the third GBNews presenter to be suspended this week; following the suspensions of Laurence Fox and Dan Wootton. Something I've never understood; if Reverend Calvin Robinson is a man of God, why is he so unkind? Jesus would have hated Robinson. As for Fox and Wootton... They're just dreadful people. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-66963562 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might be a trainee lumberjack and just wanted some practice? I could have cut down that tree at 16, and I knew loads of other folk who could have done the same.

Shaundy Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 The tree cutter wasn’t working alone . Did you see how clean that was. Were it my 16 year old did that , I suggest a job with the forestry or local councils. still, the bbc , Sky, GBeebies, guardian, mirror, scum, heil, express have all devoted their day to promoting this story of radical sycamore coppicing.

StirlingEgg Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Front page of one of the awful newspapers caught my eye earlier. I normally try to ignore them but one was trumpeting "Rishi rescues Scottish overlooked towns with 20m" or some such tripe. Overlooked by who?? 20m sounds a lot without any context as usual. Zetland park in Grangemouth cost £22m to regenerate so not sure 20m over 10 years will stretch very far. It was reported last year that his wife saves 20m in tax with her nom dom status so that figure must have been plucked from the back of his mind somewhere. 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
