@kevinjohnsonmbe am saddened I missed that - and am passionate abt how our industry is perceived. It is a highly technical and demanding profession which is a key provider for the Urban and Wildlife component of our society. Obvs fly tipping cunts and Johnny big bollocks giving it the ' we will knock that out missus - 400 knicker' need putting up against a wall.....

 

Sounds like Herself wasn't helpful   ?  K

You’ll find a link for it at AA page iffum you have a spare hour. 
 

Didn’t find it to be quite as good as the first, but interesting none the less (maybe not for the intended reasons though.)

 

Some very useful plugs & references to urban tree festival.org and TDAG, plus some interesting suggestions to engage children with ‘gorilla’ tree and plant tagging. 
 

That passion does shine through in (most ?) of your posts K ??

 

Worth a look if you have time but I suspect you might (if you’re as course as me) end up shouting/swearing at the PC - wife was quite amused!

I very shall @kevinjohnsonmbe   I have to engage with the lil darlings soon anyway once they go back to school on our outreach programs,   hopefully not get a dose  ?  K

Watching a sky news report just now of them witnessing a French patrol boat escorting illegal immigrants to the border point mid channel to then be picked up by UK border force and brought back here. WTF is going on down there on a daily basis ????. French authorities are obviously happy for them to cross unimpeded or even with tacit assistance.

I know. Can see myself retreating further and further back into the Highlands.  Back to Braemar/Balmoral way would be nice.

No it was a totally different report with a sky reporter observing this from a fishing boat. Virtually identical scenario though. Problem is with Farage all that happens is people use the racism card, but he’s right what’s happening is a total disgrace that someone somewhere should be held accountable for.

Smugglers make a killing off the backs of the misery of the migrants.
Word gets around that there is a new cross-channel service available courtesy of an escort from the French authorities, who can blame them for making a bid to get here.
As harsh as it is, I wonder how many lives have ultimately been saved by the Australian approach of turning boats back around? Word soon spreads not to bother....

What misery are they facing in the EU? I thought it was the land of promise over there?
