2000 year old tree hacked down

['Wes]

You should live around here, local council hack any tree down in sight.

Just how tall are the chavs in your area?

They can now call it stumpy and turn it into a tourist attraction.

I know I shouldn't but the police tape around that tree made me gauffaw.

Hardly a crime scene.

GUILTY of tree pruning

Must be a slow news day!

Fairy trees and chainsaws always end in bad luck, some chav will be getting his poo pushed in when some time in the future he ends up in jail.

Protesting students probably did it.

But seriously, why the hell would someone do such a thing?

Probably because someone local has had enough of people coming to visit. I'd put my money on a land owner.

A member of the public gathers sprigs from the chopped branches while (right) onlookers cry and say prayers

LOL!

Disgusted at why someone would do something like that, to something so old and so noble...

Selling firewood! £20 a log!

Comes from a special place!

 

[Greboth]

Logs from a special place? I don't think I want to know swifty

I don't care one bit about any religion so not really fussed about the, shall we say, morality of cutting the tree down. Does seem strange though for someone to randomly do it.
