Stupid comment on ash dieback

[Beardie]

There are good objective reasons as to why the woman's letter was unreasonable. It's not just a matter of opinion as to whether ash dieback is good or bad, it has the potential to alter our natural ecosystem. She is clearly seeing things from a very narrow perspective and ignorance of basic ecology. Everyone has the right to an opinion; it doesn't mean that any opinion should be treated as valid.

 

Regarding the editor's lack of immediate response: it is unusual for them to do so unless the publication's policy on something is being challenged, or until a debate has gained some momentum. I suspect the letter was printed with the latter idea in mind.

They root in 30 seconds and grow to 4 foot overnight usually in the base of the wall so you can't get them out.

 

And using glyphosate or any other stump treatment just seems to feed the buggers.

I have. I remember it well. It was 2 years ago when I first heard the rustling in the bushes next to me.......................

Ah! It was you was it Felix, between me and the guy rustling further down. Splendid bush that, one of my all-time favourites.
