What the hell could have been the point of that? What a shit thing to do.

They best leave the ‘nearly there’ trees alone.

On the way to Hayle

An act of mindless vandalism - I mean what have they "won" by doing it? Its not as if you could say "I did that" in public and expect congratulations and messages of love to pour in.

I've seen some pretty big beavers

Are they similar to badgers?

More to this story than meets the eye IMO, professional job not a lone individual, area tidied up around it (big job using pro equipment) by the looks of it......strange

 

[Saddleworth2]

Haha, I didn’t actually read the article (have since) erm yeah, the smooth cut & white marks are a definite giveaway….I’ll start the conspiracy story with ‘it’s definitely a Scottish nationalist:)

Fuck off. We Nats love nature in all its forms. Look closer to home.

Are they similar to badgers?

Are they the ones that stink when they're scared?

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

I can take the blame if it helps.

Whoever did this should get as harsh a punishment as there can be for destroying a centuries old landmark.

Only if yer a Toon fan, high on Nukie Brown!

It looks like a nice clean cut. Gorilla Glue will do the job. Tree will probably die eventually but it'll be in place for a bit longer.

 

[Saddleworth2]

Jeez. People come from all over the world to see that tree. Of all the cuntish things to do. Some things go beyond puns and jokes and this is one.
Hope they find the **** and teach him a lesson with his chain saw.
Absolute fucking ****.
