Well my immediate first two questions are how and why.

Where did he get the tools from? That's one huge tree.

As for the why, the only thing that I can conjure up in my fevered brain is that maybe he was drugged up

Just all seems so senseless

That’s the thing isn’t it. Has to be premeditated as it’s not like you could just be going past pissed up and decide to do it

Can’t quite get my head around why anyone would want to do this. Given the location and the fact it’s national trust land you can’t even say some developer has paid someone to do it

Tenner bet a video of it being cut down pops up on tiktok or something.

 

[ajsccfc]

My money's on it being for some kind of tiktok

I reckon a video of this will pop up on one of those so-called social media websites

 

[jimmyhillsfanclub]

How many 16 year olds have access to a chainsaw?

They should build a set of stocks out of the fallen tree, put the little c**t in them & post that up on tiktok.

Yup, could well be. Probably a TikTok challenge like you say

 

[clint van damme]

The way things are up there these days if hes got a few million to bung Eddie Howes way he should get a pass for a bit of chopping.

RIP A Tree

 

[wingy]

Oh it could be the SNP.

 

[ccfctommy]

Just saw someone on twitter saying the guy who did it should get ten years hahahahaha

 

[ajsccfc]

A man in his 60s has been arrested now so maybe it was for Facebook instead

Sycamore Gap: Daniel Graham and Adam Carruthers sentenced to 4 years and 3 months in jail for felling famous tree

The chopping down of the tree in September 2023 led to a huge outpouring of anger and emotion.

Absolute idiots... 110%

But I cannot, when prisons are supposedly at breaking point and people are walking away from court with convictions of Child Sex Offences with suspended sentences get on board with 4 years in prison

A heavy fine and hours of community service should have been the way forward

The country has gone to rat shit.
We lock these twats up for 4 years, and lock a mother up for 3 years for a nasty tweet, while not even wanting to investigate rape gangs who target our children.

They cut down a tree. The mother sent racist messages.

Huw Edwards served not a day in prison for producing and possession of extreme child pornography, that is why I cannot get on board with a 4 year sentence for the felling of a tree

It's symbolic/iconic, not judging but that's why they've received the sentence,NT vibes around it.

And yet acres and acres of countryside and natural beauty spots in The Shires have been ruined to facilitate the building of a train that gets you to from Brum to London 15 mins quicker than the one that already exists

The equivalent argument is not one that is helpful but this sentence is nonsense
Most imprisonment is about danger to society and can the risk to society be managed outside a prison environment

Didn't realise this thead exited made my comments on "things that anger you " this morning.
When are we going to start thinking about the victims of some of the henious crimes being commited and sentence accordingly.

They caused hundreds of thousands of pounds of damage, killed a 100 year old living thing and showed zero remorse about it. They clearly didn’t give a fuck and a slap on the wrist would have done nothing.

 

[rob9872]

Should've been 200 hours community service planting trees and put them in stocks in the space for the public to throw rotten veg at. The extra tourism would've been lucrative for the area.

As for millions of pounds of damage, a tree fell on a wall in the countryside. How its valued I have no idea.

Seem like a pair of cunts though so I'll not lose any sleep over them.

Well you’ve got 100 years of effort for a start plus damage to a UNESCO world heritage site.

Nobody is doubting what they did was utterly moronic

They are getting a sentence equivalant to the average 1 handed out to a person who has KILLED someone through dangerous driving not a tree a human being.
Dont fill the jails with people like these despicable pair find other ways to punish them.

 

[Macca]

Meanwhile the countryside being flattened every day to build shit lego housing estates with no punishment at all

 

[fernandopartridge]

Sorry that's the same silly logic that leads to four year sentences

Good. They did it intentionally because they thought it was funny. TBH sounds like you would as well. There’s serious penalties and costs for destroying mature trees for very good reason.

Bit of a difference building essential infrastructure after spending billions on consultations for years than getting pissed and taking a chainsaw to an ancient tree for a laugh.

You might want to actually read what HS2 is as well.

 

[Sick Boy]

They’ll probably only serve a third of the sentence in prison in reality.
