I know it's nothing in the grand scheme of things, but the sheer moronic pointlessness of it is unbelievable, not sure what sentence they can be given but it won't be nearly enough.

Chill out, Russ, for God's sake! Do you hate all lumberjacks or just amateur enthusiasts?
I am chilled, mate. I'm not the one advocating they do a decade in clink. I have no hatred for professional or amateur lumberjacks.
It just beggars belief that grown men actually even discussed doing such a thing. I mean, get a fucking life.

An utterly pointless thing to do. Fucking grown men chopping down a 150 year old tree just for a laugh. Fucking pair of morons. I mean, the fact that the tree had a preservation order and was regarded as a landmark may sway a judge to hit them a bit harder. But I doubt they will do more than six months. Some bloke on TV was saying they should get the maximum sentence for vandalism which is ten years.... But then another person said, so you think longer than some wrongun touching kids then?
I mean, its all about balance.

Bizarre story this, they look like a couple of yokels who didn't think it through and thought they would get away with it.

A few years ago, I volunteered to pull out loads of sycamores from my local woods. They are a non native invasive species and a pain in the arse because their seeds fly and spread everywhere and they grow pretty fast.
Are Sycamore seeds those helicopter things?
Yes

Why are you so upset by this?
when the shit hits the fan will you fight for Ukraine?
Politically, I'd side with Russia on this but I wouldn't go and fight either way, nobody has even declared war so it's just an incursion.

Whatever they get, they deserve a criminal record to fuck up their lives. Maybe something by Eminem.
