I was trying to find where the FC rules say about the garden exemption, can you link to it ? Without it taking up too much time of course

this isn't an idea written from experience of big hung up roadside trees, more plenty of small ones, I did one the other day, and used the blocking method to get the butt off the ground and then a rope with me and the owner pulling with the hung up tree in mid air, it worked. I do have a T35 winch, but this was an add on job I'd not planned for. Now with a big tree like that I imagine blocking from the base out across the road cutting to head height from the side and then a pull rope (if gravity didn't shift it). Maybe they didn't even have a pull rope with them. A decent rigging line and perhaps a pulley for redirect and the tractor, plus the blocking method would have been my first thoughts - although I know when the crown in wedged in the severed butt of the hung up tree will not fall or be pulled down. At that point with the hung up tree suspended in mid air they could have said right f*ck it - pull in direction of severed stump of hung up tree and just fell the other one across the road too. They fell one too many trees, but make it back home

you shouldn't have skimmed it, it's 28 pages, not 280 pages, quite clearly says 5 cube a quarter or more you need a licence, any conservation area needs to be declared, the FC will then contact the LPA for an opinion before issuing a licence. What I couldn't follow is CGs point above about trees in gardens being exempt from needing a felling licence. Some big properties, say a 2 or 3 acre garden, if it's not in a conservation area, surely you can't just clear fell say 20 cube worth of trees at once if someone wants a golf course on the back lawns with no felling licence? Is there a reference/link for this exemption? I know you can go over 5 cube a quarter with pollarding etc, but what about felling?

Ive always just hedgecuttered laurels, if its a yearly cut after a couple of months the smashed up big leaves on the face are hardly noticeable, never had any complaints, certainly not used loppers or secateurs

of all the hedges I maintain for people I like cherry laurel for a big garden, beech is ok, but laurel being evergreen is more my taste for a year round screen. I cut a few leylandi that have got like the 6ft wide ones above, people just put up with them, its a green screen, prettier than a fence, you would have a slightly bigger garden afterwards, by all of 3ft

that's not really fair - peds has started climbing some quite big trees now - doesn't that take backbone? backbone Trump with his love of country - notwithstanding avoiding serving in Vietnam on dodgy medical exemption

I agree that Labour don't really know how to drill down into the details like the Conservatives did, but at least the thrust of it is acknowledging that China is putting up more smog than just about everyone else - and a transition to green energy isn't fools shite. There is no way that fossil fuels burning and associated CO2 hasn't changed our climate more than all the volcanoes combined. Chinese burning their own and Australian coal is the worst culprit, but moving transportation to battery will help too - not only with global warming but air quality too. I briefly lived and cycled in London, watching cycle couriers steal a lift by grabbing the back of a lorry and get towed up the road - I thought those guys must breathe in so much exhaust fumes. Coal Oil and Gas made us lazy and pampered, back in the day a man had to walk to work. The greenhouse gas theory has implications so bad that people just don't want to believe it. We all know eventually Earth will become uninhabitale anyway when the Sun finally burns out, but burning all the coal, oil and gas looks like a good way to make the planet more f*ucked much sooner. All because humans want luxury and comforts. I mean people who fly abroad on 2 or more foreign holidays a year - putting their own enjoyment before anything else. The answer isn't just more nuclear - it is to get humans to enjoy life without mega consumption

maybe willow, perhaps salix caprea, or fragilis - close up pics of the buds would help

POTUS Biden - funded genocidal Israel POTUS Trump - funded genocidal Israel Scorsese's film 'Killers of the Flower Moon' illustrates perfectly what happens when the european settlers get involved in matters of territory and money. There is no hope of a good outcome until the US is broken up, I don't care that it won't be in my lifetime, but when it comes it will have been a long time coming

is it worth trying a tube of tyre foam, or is the puncture too big?

Now he's in Power the public's opinion is not really relevant WASHINGTON, March 13 (Reuters) - More than half of Americans, including one in four Republicans, think President Donald Trump is "too closely aligned" with Russia, as he radically realigns U.S. foreign policy, a new Reuters/Ipsos poll shows. The two-day poll completed on Wednesday also found little appetite among Americans for Trump's expansionist agenda, as the Republican president talks of acquiring Greenland, Canada and the Panama Canal.

the only thing I admire about Trump's government is their progress on tackling immigration - and that is a big achievement it will be interesting to look at the chart of the S&P 500 at the end of Trump's term - the stock market soared under the dems this last time

of course it was selective copy and pasting - a paragraph about the Nissan Micra wouldn't have made much sense

measles is only one - add in smallpox and polio - it's difficult to defend vaccine sceptics, none of us know what it is like to live in a world where microscopic pathogens can tear through a poplulation, before vaccines people were killed off and hospitalised in huge numbers. It simply can't come down to freedom of choice when an infected person can make so many other people ill In high-income regions of the world, such as Western Europe, measles still causes death in about 1 in 5000 cases. But in the poorest regions, as many as 1 in 100 will die. Before widespread vaccination was introduced, the disease caused an estimated 2.6 million global deaths each year. And worldwide, measles is still a major cause of death. In 2016 about 90,000 people died of measles, although this was the first year on record when global measles deaths fell below 100,000 a year. However, following these years of decline, when vaccination dramatically reduced the number of deaths, in 2022 measles cases rose by 18%, and deaths by 43%, compared with 2021. During this time, worldwide vaccination coverage also declined to its lowest level since 2008. See this World Health Organization and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report. Since a measles vaccine was introduced in the UK in 1968, the UK Health Security Agency estimates that 20 million measles cases, and 4,500 deaths, have been averted.

Trump chose a health secretary and look what happens A measles outbreak in the American southwest has killed a second person, an unvaccinated adult, New Mexico health officials have said.

this is what I was trying to get at - say you were a modern Churchill, in charge of saying green for go - just how much loss would you tolerate in order to finish off Putin? Say it could be done if the UK and EU went all in - would 100.000 UK dead be a price worth paying?

I've seen Rambo 1, 2 and 3 - I know what it takes

In the second Boer War 1899 - 1902 we lost a reported 27,000 military, the Korean War 1950 - 1953 cost the lives of approximately 1100 service men and women. My point is the recent conflicts have not been on that scale 30 years fighting in NI est 763 dead Iraq 179 Afganistan 457 Gulf War 47 Falkands 255 Our soldiers are still just as brave as in the Boer War, but their chances of survival seem better today. In cold terms of sheer numbers I think a combined UK and EU force could defeat Russia in a conventional war, but when it comes to Taiwan it would take more than any conceivable coalition to defeat China. Biden said he would defend Taiwan, whereas Trump will not. This time maybe Trump is right - hundreds of thousands of US soldiers could be sent tp their deaths defending Taiwan and it still would fall. China and Russia are like bullies in the school playground and when the teachers try to break it up the teachers end up stabbed to death.

Xi and Putin don't have to worry about silly things like elections removing them from office. Trump is a truly great leader, we may never see his like again - so why prevent him from serving a historic third term?
