Chop down a tree, 4 years in jail. But Palestinian terror symps who slash a priceless painting of Lord Balfour are not even charged with a crime.

England is lost.

[alternatives?]

Think of all the rapes with lessor sentences.

[catnipman]

they shoulda been hung or received life sentences ...

[Organic Panic]

Yep. A tree is worth more than thousand, no, millions of lives of unborn. The world is sick.

[Nateman]

[No name given]

Very.

[No name given]

And it’s their own fault.

[fidelis]

"So what're yer in for, mate? Murder? Robbery? Drug dealing? Rape?"

"Killin' trees."

"Killin' trees?? You're a right blaggard, you are!!"

[snip] chopped down perhaps the most beloved tree in England, located in a gap in Hadrian’s Wall... the Sycamore Gap tree... a judge sentenced the pair, Daniel Graham, 39, and Adam Carruthers, 32, to four years and three months in prison for two counts of criminal damage, for the felled tree and the damaged wall. [/snip]

[Fiji Hill]

A stupid and senseless act of vandalism. However, note that th perps’ names are Graham and Carruthers. If their last names had been Patel, al-Salal, or Nkrumah, their sentences would have been far more lenient.

[Redcitizen]

Hadrian would have chopped the tree down for use in defensive positions with nary a concern for nature.

[jocon307]

Correct. I’d’ve given them two years, max.

But England is letting the rapists roam free!

[Salamander]

Cut their hearts out….with a spoon.

They cannot tell a lie.

[reed13k]

and they all moved away from me on the group W bench there.....

[AndyJackson]

The citizens need guns.

[hinckley buzzard]

True, but this is what happens when a dying culture drains meaning from the lives of the people. It takes the loss of a tangible symbol to evoke a convulsion of indignation.

[AnAmericanMother]

“. . . and creating’ a nuisance . . . “

"England is lost."

Indeed.. England squeals like a stuck pig over one single tree while their entire nation is going up in flames. The English are looking right down the barrel of the muslim horde and seem completely paralyzed to do anything about it...

This situation would be very interesting if those who had cut down that tree were muslims. The English may have just sniff, swallowed hard and went on about their business of mostly ignoring muslim crime.
