Sycamore Gap tree at Hadrian's Wall 'felled overnight'

[adidan]

I hope they arrest those who chopped down the ancient woodlands for the glorious HS2 while they're at it.

I'd be surprised if a 16 year old alone had such good chainsaw skills.

The kid is out on bail apparently.

I'm sure his dad will have had some influence, after all the apple doesn't fall far from the .... okay, I'll stop now .

Amazing how a single felled tree and a narcotic taking man deliberately employed for his contentious opinions by a TV station known for promoting their contentious views across the board, and by his making some of them known to some dreadful bimbo has made such deep inroads into the recent national news.

There must be some other stuff happening, but I have no doubt missed it in the midst of this doubtlessly very warranted hiatus

I assume peace and tranquillity are reigning across the UK otherwise? <LOL>

Some sort of problem with me stating an opinion?

@Chris Wilson I'd have thought the Sycamore Gap story would have been right up your street, it's all about bigger tree.

You're saying it was felled by a person or persons that a bigot would likely suspect capable of such an act? Or are you just making a dreadfully crass pun?

The police investigation really seems to be branching out now.

Is there a yougov survey to know what percerntage of the population had heard of the tree prior to this week - general sherman is more well known ?
or, hadn't realised it was not a myth, General Oak, where robin shot the arrow

Is that different to the Major Oak in Sherwood Forest? That the one I would call the most known tree I know.
