Can't you ask it to stop brushing the house and do the drive instead? 

[Varche]

  That would be right.

Parish councils and town halls exist to solve such problems.

In the meantime bring back the stocks ( preferably made of ash) and a big supply of vinegared conkers.

I thought that they were flowers.

Here's a comment I've lifted from an article on the UnHerd website and as well as the author commenting on the professional cut, he also notes that as the person arrested is 16, he is entitled to anonymity. 

Interesting. What's the betting that they don't name the 60 year old either?   

I've had a close look at images of the stump. The notch, back cut and hinge are perfect. Also the chainsaw used had a bar length longer than the diameter of the tree where the cut was made. This tree was downed by a person who knew what he was doing. I would be interested to know which way the wind was blowing on the night in question. The fact that the lad who is suspect is 16yrs old and therefore has a right to anonymity is a red flag for me.

And what a load of codswallop he is spouting.  At the age of 8 I could and did fell trees like that. And did a better job.  Still, don't let common sense and truth get in the way of a good conspiracy

It's only a bit of wood.

Wilful destruction, but whoever did it will no doubt have had "mental health issues" this allows the  " sufferer" do virtually do anything criminal knowing f**k all will happen to them.

[cam.in.head]

exactly the same as the other 'suspicious' circumstances that have caused various listed buildings and the like to be'accidently destroyed'around the country over the years.
either this WAS a prank by a child in which case nothing will probably happen to him
or
it was an intensional felling by someone in power in which case nothing will happen there either !

Fk all will happen in a country where shoplifting has become an acceptable profession.

If you need to see where we're heading go to Vancouver, Seattle or San Francisco.

The newly opened judgement free drug zone, or whatever the marketing wank title for it is, in Glasgow is the epitome of all that's wrong with lefty socialist thinking.

[Raeturbo]

Yes I agree, and it's obviously going to get progressively worse, and those drug zones have got to be a crazy idea surely

Unless you're a drug addict, then they're pretty cool........I would imagine 

[Doctor Gollum]

The only way they could be positive, is if they supply uncut versions of the various drugs and at much higher concentrations than than can be obtained on the street. Anyone who wants to role the dice can overdose themselves to oblivion. Eventually they'll run out of customers.

Outlawing Narcan would also be a step in the right direction. If someone overdoses, that should be on them and not burden the medical systems.

Your 8 year old arms must have been like Popeye's to wield a chainsaw big enough to cut down a tree like that!   

Did you eat a can of spinach for breakfast before going off for a hard day's lumberjacking? 

Here's a song for TB!

Popeye had mahoosive forearms but weedy little biceps. Too much wànking over pictures of the beautiful Olive
