For those not aware, this is major news here in the UK. The trial is being live-streamed (with reporting, cameras are not allowed) in most major outlets.
Here's a BBC article summarising events in the trial last week: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4g3kxx1k6xo https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4g3kxx1k6xo

- unfunco 2y agoMyself, and many of my friends here in Wales were outraged too, plenty of tutting could be heard. Mindless destruction of something old and beautiful just because it's there and people enjoy it, normally an act of children who can sometimes be excused for not yet having the capacity to appreciate things, but this is two grown ups. Small towns across the country have turned to shit, they're boarded up, with only charity shops, vape shops, and betting shops left, more and more people are turning to the countryside for simple enjoyment, especially since Covid; and now that's being chopped up violently too. It was more than just a tree.
