Hope they catch the imbecile responsible.

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

it was those pesky City fans on their way back from the toon

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

That's the American cousin

I've seen some pretty big beavers.

Oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Matron.

Potentially some local farmer who is sick of tourists getting in their way has done it.

Farmers can be right cnuts when it comes to right of way access.

You'd probably be the same Trevor if you had to deal with some of the brain dead and ignorant twats that walked on your land.

As with all walks of life, the minority spoil it for the sensible and respectful majority.

Is it to much to hope his chainsaw malfunctions next time he uses it

 

[Tourist since 1971]

This is heartbreaking. I've never been there but that tree is absolutely iconic for Northumberland. Nothing excuses vandalism on this scale, I don't care how worthy your 'cause'. If it was just someone twatting about, I hope for their sake they don't get found by anyone whose livelihood depends on tourism in that part of the world.
I am trying think of equivalent examples in other parts of the country - knocking over Nelson's Column? blowing up Stonehenge? And this tree can't be rebuilt or repaired. So sad.

It was one of those iconic British landmarks
I visited the Northumberland National Park centre as they made an enquiry to open an account, so whilst up there I had a wander about in the beautiful surroundings and it was a fabulous thing to see

Whoever has done it needs their legs cutting off
