sorry can't comply - had my fix of attention seeking behaviour for now. Time for me to withdraw and compress

wrong - all of those subjects are indirectly connected to black/ asian muslim rape gangs.

Black muslim gay Reform members are volunteering to break the Birmingham bin strike - and good on them. The BMGR volunteers said the workers on strike over a mere £8000 pa pay cut were letting the community down. 'If the money isn't enough for them they should leave and do another job', said one outspoken BMGR volunteer ( who had recently been released from prison for taking part in 7 gang rapes in 7 months).

you've previously used the analogy brain tumour, now it's forest fire - never anything negative to say about Israel. (Hamas are the baddies - Israel is only right to defend itself). What a joke. Palestinians have been killed by Israeli land thieves in the West Bank for decades Palestinian territory – encompassing the Gaza Strip and West Bank, including East Jerusalem – has been occupied by Israel since 1967. The UN Special Rapporteur has determined that Israel has imposed a system of racial oppression and discrimination that satisfies the prevailing evidentiary standard for the crime of apartheid, a crime against humanity. On 19 July 2024 the ICJ issued an advisory opinion – endorsed overwhelmingly by a subsequent UNGA resolution – detailing that Israel’s continued presence in the OPT is unlawful, asserting Israel must end its presence as rapidly as possible, immediately cease all new settlement activities and evacuate all settlers.

from the above article Tensions rose sharply and quickly after two members of Hamas's elite forces were shot dead by gunmen from the powerful Dughmush clan in Gaza City's Sabra neighbourhood. One of them was the son of a senior commander in Hamas's armed wing, Imad Aqel, who now heads the group's military intelligence. Their bodies were left in the street, triggering anger and raising the prospect of a major armed response by Hamas. Hamas members later surrounded a large area where more than 300 Dughmush gunmen were believed to be holed up, armed with machine guns and improvised explosives. made me remember this - Israel covertly trying to arm clans to kill off Hamas Netanyahu confirms Israel arming clans opposed to Hamas in Gaza WWW.BBC.CO.UK Israel has been criticised for giving weapons to a group of "criminals and felons".

still an attractive tree - and it's not as if you can get the nice thick silver birch trunks like that by replanting any time soon re the decay in pruning wounds - half way down France it's warmer, maybe they fare better than in UK

nice colour - euonymous alatus?

no such tree as betulina pendula, or is there?

I would be saying that in my opinion decay will spread into the trunk, may be safe for years, decades even, but for reasons you state will be expensive to fell if left till no one wants to climb it. The top cuts on reductions often rot down inside to form rot pockets a foot deep. With the limb I would have suggested leaving a 6ft or more stub, contary to arb and BS practice, but that way the rot would take years to reach the trunk. Only on birch. Ash, sycamore etc that cut would probably occlude within say 5 to 7 years. Birch is diffuse porous v most UK hardwoods that are ring porous. Not a decay expert, but from memory the books do talk about the differences in susceptibility to decay of the two structures

no dole then, so work or workhouse magic mushrooms had evolved by Victorian times, they used to neck a load then go mad to heavy techno of the day

In Victorian times it was fine to get whacked right out of your skull Sherlock Holmes, the most famous consulting detective in literature, used occasionally cocaine and morphine to escape, as he said, from “the dull routine of existence.” This was nothing unusual in Victorian times because sale of opium, laudanum, cocaine and morphine was legal. Victorian users took these dangerous drugs as self-medication and as recreation.

now that is quite well articulated 'problematic if someone is trying to weaponise the Manchester attack to silence protest against the genocide' Well done Zack - only problem is they are only projected to win 5 seats last time I looked. Maybe you can boost them up to 7. That support of Palestine when everyone is railing against antisemitism is commendable in my view. The IDF killed hundreds of Palestinians this week, not just two

Ask the Indians forced onto reservations - immigrants always cause trouble. There is no future without war and suffering - it's already baked in. We just have to learn to take the rough with the rougher

if the Green Party under Zak get in we can do enough drugs to imagine that's the case

philosophical stance - not a fact it's possible the future is already written into the fabric of the universe, just we can't see it in advance

the green party have the right idea - get everyone so wasted they are incapable of stabbing anyone Green leader Zack Polanski backs legalisation of all drugs WWW.BBC.COM Zack Polanski speaks to BBC South East on the party's new approach ahead of the party's conference.

what's wrong with glyphosate around saplings and small trees if you use something to control drift?
