Who the f**k does something like that and thinks it's a good idea? Is this a chainsaw version of arson? Cut down a well-known tree just to get a hard-on watching the reaction?

I'm just thankful it happened last night and not last week as I was down in that area Shocked

And don't worry Del, your wood pile is most certainly neatly stacked (how else would I get it all in the trailer !) Laughing

Disgraceful though... maybe an appropriate punishment would be for the perpetrator to be "felled at the knees" as well?

Can't believe the miscreant who did this didn't let on to someone beforehand, or bragged about it after the event.

Let's hope someone with any ounce of decency shops the prat.

As you say, Why? Was the first word that entered my head when I saw this earlier.

I think they need their legs removed with their own chainsaws.

Yes, just saw that.
Quote:

A 16-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with the felling of one of the UK's most iconic trees.

The landmark at Sycamore Gap, beside Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland, was cut down overnight.

Northumberland National Park Authority officials believe the tree, known as Robin Hood's Tree, was "deliberately felled".

Northumbria Police said the teenager had been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage.

He is in custody and helping with the investigation, a force spokesman said.



Coz EVERY teenager wanders about with a chainsaw.

That'll be 100 hours of community service then. Evil or Very Mad

I wonder if there's a social media video of the event - that's the sort of idiotic thing that people do for views/likes/clicks these days.
