£100,000 to plant 10 tree`s...Who is getting rich from this ,or is it a fair price? 

There might be a bit of overpricing - it is a public sector project after all - but I bet, rather than anyone 1 entity getting rich, it’ll be an example of us all (those that pay tax at least) getting poor as a consequence of local and national government’s utter lack of respect for public money. 

 

If it had been Cornwall, the contract would likely have gone to Cormac - the 100% share owned private company of Cornwall council. Talk about a cartel!

There’s a lot of needless rowing going on here. We’re all in the timber game, like it or not, and we pretty much all sing from the same hymn sheet.   J has touched a nerve with me about

My wife is a social worker and she has 30 cases when she should only have 12. She works in child services as well. Its easy to blame social workers but they are short staffed and underfunded.

He probably doesn't have dual citizenship, the lass was under 19 (I think thats the limit) and so her parents being Bangladeshi meant she was also a Bangladeshi citizen.

 

Under international law we can't remove their British citizenship if it leaves them stateless.

He does have dual citerzenship, his parents are Canadian, or at least his father is..Do you not see the hypocrisy?

I don't know how Canadian citizenship works. Is he actually a Canadian citizen? I don't know? Is he planning or trying to come to the UK?

 

The hypocrisy appears obvious, but I don't know all the facts.

Yeah but he's been stitched up, I read his book (courtesy of Mr Johnson) and I can believe he was stitched up in part, but feck me he's a thug, he's even taken the name (TR) of a infamous football hooligan. All that aside, I'm in disbelief that people keep saying everything he reported was in the public domain, possibly, but, and this is a big but, the sentences for some of the nonces were still being deliberated. He could have fucked things up in a major fashion.

He's a self publicist and a criminal. To me it seemed pretty simple; get told by a judge to not do something under pain of a suspended sentence then act offended when you get pulled for doing the same thing using the bullshit reason of exposing a gang that was already due to be sentenced.
