- comrade1234 9mo ago"What are you in for?"
- jcul 9mo agoI can understand the outrage. Was there any motivation given for why they cut it down? Just vandalism?
- domh 9mo agoYeah I think so. Attention seeking, maybe something to do with a planning application to live somewhere being rejected too: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn811px4m7mo https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn811px4m7mo Honestly it's my first time looking at the story for a while! I just knew they got jail time for it.
- nephihaha 9mo agoI've been following the story for a while and it has never been adequately explained by mainstream media. Consider this... They drove for over an hour in the middle of the night in foul weather to a remote location to cut down a particular tree. That suggests some preplanning.
