RIP - Hadrian’s wall tree

[DaveReading]

Sounds like the tree cutting is not enough to condemn them over that people are looking for other reasons to hate them too. I wonder how many dodgy comments posters on here have in their internet history? I bet the ease of the anonymous internet allows for plenty of nastiness without consequence.

I'm sure we all have lots.

We just don't gratuitously cut down trees.

What planet are you on? this isn't people making stuff up, its facts. The CPS declined to take it to prosecution due to elapsed time and worries on enough evidence for "beyond reasonable doubt".

Yes but there will always be people out there with an axe to grind, be it real or not.

I think their friendship has splintered now, perhaps when they get locked up they might find the other prisoners have an axe to grind with the pair of them, that'll cut them down to size!

4 years and 3 months each for chopping down the tree, with 6 months served concurrently for damaging Hadrian's Wall.

Ouch.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

It’s the chopping block for them

A period where they’ll take stock(s)

I wonder at which point during the trial they twigged they weren't going to get away with it?

Maybe they brought in Special Branch to testify.
