      My Dad’s favourite quote from his years of teaching was something a parent said about their teenage son “at that age, they’re all balls and no brains”.

      If it’s a climate protest, I approve.

      It’s a sycamore, they can be coppiced tf. They grow like weeds.

      It’s got the media’s attention but spoiled a few tourist photos, big deal.

      If people are outraged over one tree, they really don’t have a grip of the situation.

          Because that’s how nowadays climate protesting works, they are just and only destructive and don’t understand that this is doing absolutely nothing for their goal.

          We’re destroying the environment, what’s the difference? This has got more attention than throwing paint about and stopping workers from getting to work.

          Plus, the tree will be fine. No harm, no foul.

        I actually wondered if it was the landowner fed up with the tiktok selfie set tramping the land, I bet the thousands of tourists feet have scared the land, doing more damage.
