I'm lost for words except, why?
Just why?
BBC News - Sycamore Gap: Boy, 16, arrested after Hadrian's Wall tree felled
He's as thick as the wall. 
The UK, well let's say England given I'm going to cite another case in England, has a real problem with young lads at the moment. The amount of crime attributed to them is out of hand. The other case being yesterday when a 17 year old boy stabbed to death a 15 year old girl with a machete.
SHIT ... I was supposed to stay in Croydon next Thursday night but just managed to get a hotel at the airport.

I see the Police got an extra 24 hours to question this bastard. I certainly hope that they are unable to prevent him falling out from a tenth floor building somewhere close to the police station.....
I don't know Croydon on a personal level having only been there once about 40 years ago but there was a stabbing there last week also and there are real local community issues there presently it seems.
Whilst staying in an airport hotel is something of a soulless experience, you made a good choice I'd say.
I didn't know there was such a problem in the UK with these young people. We certainly have our own problems here in Argentina, so I suppose I'm distracted by all that.
Out of sight, out of mind.

It wouldn't surprise me at all to discover that TikTok or some other social media bullshit is connected with this. Like he did it for a prank, filmed it for the likes and views. It's been done before in other circumstances.
Jeez!
We have a fair bit of that kind of thing Splinter especially schoolgirls having fights and their mates posting it on Tiktok etc.
The crime in Croydon though has its own story and is of another level.
Civilization does seem to be on a huge downswing right now. Somehow it all seems worse when it happens in Great Britain.
The lovely tree was 300 years old
Its a shame that silly idiotic person knocked it down, but I think he may have been fed up with eco warriors with their nonsense of "protecting the planet". I can't else fathom why he would want to do it otherwise
I'm just pleased it has received the right level of outrage which isn't guaranteed these days. 2 arrests so far but naturally it's not a location where cctv footage can be looked at so I suspect it is going to be tricky.

I would have thought so too unless he/they admit to doing it. I'd love to know the reason behind it.
I'm not sure a lively, active, critical-thinking, decision-determining mind is all that common these days in the UK.

It's not as if it's something someone would do on the way home from the pub pissed.
You’re right, UK Man - - unlike that guy who defaced Rome’s Colosseum by writing on it, of his undying love for his (current) girlfriend - -
No, this clown had to drag along at least a heavy-duty chain saw.
By all accounts it was the work of someone who knew what they were doing. Which is probably a good thing if you own a chainsaw.

Just saw this. Can’t help wondering where the police were, all that time. Surely a bystander would have called before the couple ever got into McDonald’s.
(BTW, the guy didn’t seem very concerned or protective of his girlfriend - )
Yes that video has been doing the rounds for some time now. Alcohol and marching powder are a potent mix. Sadly, this can be seen in any city centre any weekend night.
