^ Nope. Climbing of smaller trees isn't frowned upon in public parks in England, kids do it all the time, and rightly so. We are primates after all. I've free-climbed trees since I was able to. When teaching a mate the ropes a parky did indeed come up and say that other people might try and copy. Good luck with that when the first branch is 7 or 8 metres off the ground. @Lee54321 Just crack on. Be polite. If stopped before you ascend then stop and find another tree. Make sure you bring a mate in case you get your boot stuck in a crotch or something like that. Sometimes it's better to ask for forgiveness rather than beg for permission.

Take a mate and go and climb a tree. If someone at a park mutters about bylaws, let them mutter, be polite, explain what you're doing, and explain you'll climb down when you're ready to.

That's very funny.. Fascism is rampant, to deny so is disingenuous.

On the back foot...

More diversion. A trend is appearing.

Lol. Pure Mark Bollocks. In case you didn't know " The Fash" relates to those who follow fascist ideologies. Give your brain a rest.

That's where things are heading on the current trajectory. i noticed you edited your post to make you appear slightly more reasonable. I didn't accuse you of being racist, so aye, that question is easily sorted out, I'm not sure why you would even bring racism into it. If you were called a racist how would you easily throw it out? Given your "input" into this site? You do seem to align with the tenets of fascism

Diversion.

Go on then. Easily throw it out...

https://www.keene.edu/academics/cchgs/resources/presentation-materials/characteristics-and-appeal-of-fascism/download/ 1. Powerful, often exclusionary, populist nationalism centered on cult of a redemptive, “infallible” leader who never admits mistakes. 2. Political power derived from questioning reality, endorsing myth and rage, and promoting lies. 3. Fixation with perceived national decline, humiliation, or victimhood. 4. White Replacement “Theory” used to show that democratic ideals of freedom and equality are a threat. Oppose any initiatives or institutions that are racially, ethnically, or religiously harmonious. 5. Disdain for human rights while seeking purity and cleansing for those they define as part of the nation. 6. Identification of “enemies”/scapegoats as a unifying cause. Imprison and/or murder opposition and minority group leaders. 7. Supremacy of the military and embrace of paramilitarism in an uneasy, but effective collaboration with traditional elites. Fascists arm people and justify and glorify violence as “redemptive”. 8. Rampant sexism. 9. Control of mass media and undermining “truth”. 10. Obsession with national security, crime and punishment, and fostering a sense of the nation under attack. 11. Religion and government are intertwined. 12. Corporate power is protected and labor power is suppressed. 13. Disdain for intellectuals and the arts not aligned with the fascist narrative. 14. Rampant cronyism and corruption. Loyalty to the leader is paramount and often more important than competence. 15. Fraudulent elections and creation of a one-party state. 16. Often seeking to expand territory through armed conflict. Appeal? Why does this become permissible? Trauma allows for the embrace of the irrational. Escapism fosters a minimum of self-respect and the ability to vent judgement against a world in which people cannot exist with dignity. Traditional lifestyles are uprooted or threatened by technological changes, wealth inequity, and unequal access to goods and services. Contempt for truth and reason reflects the despair of the follower who is socially and spiritually adrift and cynical. Providing a coherent explanatory narrative and political rallies reinforces a sense of belonging and is fueled by confirmation bias. That things “just happen” is unacceptable to the follower who, in turn, must believe the infallibility of the leader to reclaim their own pride and sense of worth.

Diversion.

Correct. Because it isn't arrogance you attribute to those on the 'left'. It's fear that you'll have to express yourself honestly. That's the thing with the fash, they lack spines. They like to hide behind whataboutery, diversion, and thinly veiled winks and nudges. its a bit sad living a lie. Own it.

The government are crooks. They profit massively from tobacco revenue. They could ban it, and other damaging drugs, but they won't. As it suits them not to do so. They could also legalise everything and let people work it out for themselves.

Do you have enough work coming in to sustain your kit and staff if you don't win the contract? I think you're going in too cheap. In 2010 the Forestry Commission would pay £650.00 for two crew plus van and chipper. That's worth £1,006.20 today.
