Absolute cunts.
Re: Sycamore from Sycamore Gap..,
Weird, it looks a professional job too. It's not you're average chav with a £60 saw from Screwfix.
How about not having a sig at all?

Mito might be able to confirm but would an expert cut a tree that big like this??
It looks like the started with a notch (if you look at the trunk on the ground) but then sliced straight through it

That sounds a bit "so there's no point in trying".Conservative MP Mr Opperman said it was "unquestionably a criminal act", but added that "even if police did catch the perpetrator, the tree is still gone".
Re: Sycamore from Sycamore Gap..,
Yes - what a fucking stupid comment.
Catch the cunt who did it and lock him up!
Honestly I'd put the full cohort of Tory MPs in the meat grinder and start again with another lot with some brains and concept of what conservative principles are.
Re: Sycamore from Sycamore Gap..,
It's a very thick tree, going off by a couple inches wouldn't be unexpected but they even got the hinge correct to fell it onto the wall. So that was on purpose too.

Re: Sycamore from Sycamore Gap..,
Unobservant me didn't notice it had fallen on the wall
I wonder if there was a tree protection order on it?

OK Gotcha Mito - I had thought the Felling Cut had to be higher to release the tension but that makes sense.
Re: Sycamore from Sycamore Gap..,
I didn't realise it was the tree from Prince of Thieves... 200 years old
Re: Sycamore from Sycamore Gap..,
Can't think of a reason someone would do that other than a disgruntled landowner wanting to remove a tourist or instagram spot?
Re: Sycamore from Sycamore Gap..,
It's ok @Beany , @Mito Man has an alibi for last night - he was out for drinks with friends (at the Crooked House in Himley)
Re: Sycamore from Sycamore Gap..,
I’ll expect a digger to knock down that section of Hadrian’s Wall tonight in that case
Re: Sycamore from Sycamore Gap..,
As of last weekend I am a reformed net zero tree hugger

Very weirdly - someone pointed out on twatter that "The Broccoli Tree" was attacked on the same date 6 yrs ago. Coincidence?
