    You've fallen into the trap me old scrambled egg! You didn't spot the sarcasm....? I know you're as straight as the day is long mucker.... especially today. ??

    You've fallen into the trap me old scrambled egg! It shouldn't matter who he is or what he stands for... There are those amongst us that have overtly delighted in the violent action of casting a milk shake over a serving MEP and prominent public figure. They are 'likely' the same cohort that (quite rightly) expressed horror at the murder of a serving MP, or outrage at the poorly judged comments obliquely referencing rape as a measure of a female MP's desirability. Here in lies the hypocrisy which was previously referenced (and apparently wholly misinterpreted.) Having a set of 'standards' which can so easily be discarded - dependent upon the political leanings of subject / victim / perp - is the very epitome of hypocrisy... At least it is by my moral ?

    Aggravated trespass.- reasonable force. The ‘task’ should not have fallen to him, but it did. Im sympathetic to the environmental cause but taking ‘direct action’ and then crying like a beeee-ach when it results in reciprocated direct action simply illustrates the self entitled, do as I say not as I do, whiny, pathetic attitude of such people. There are a few SJWs complaining (the usual suspects), but the overwhelming public response appears to be supportive. My only criticism is the apology.

    Made me wonder about individual/ area / group because it might have been relevant to argue that removal of an individual within an area / group might not significantly denude amenity - plus, if an ‘old’ area, it might also have been relevant to argue that it should have been updated to accurately reflect current state. Sounds like good sense may be starting to prevail in the face of determined and applied reasoning anyhoooo ??

    It was part of his seminar at Barchams (I think it was 2015) Generally, the discussion was circling around his view that the construct, interpretation, administration, deliverables and consequences of the current TPO system being clumsy, administratively burdensome and not particularly effective/ efficient. His declaration that abatement of actionable nuisance would (provided it actually was) require no consent from LA. There was a palpable collective gasp of horror from the +/- 80% LA TO audience.

    A point which raised great sighs of horror and astonishment at the Mynors Barcham seminar some years ago (was it 2015 already??)

    A single tree TPO Gary, or part of a group / area order? If individual, is there a history of perceived threat to the tree from previous land owner? Maybe not central to the circumstances going forward, but maybe of interest / some relevance in understanding LA position. Horse trading potential if landowner can be patient? Let it die, reduce as hazard requires, leave remains, no re-plant no TPO moving forward....

    Is it just yourself driving? I’d say the potential for panel damage might make the MO a bit fragile for hire / multi user scenarios but owner operator is a very different kettle of fish. I’m over 3 years in and only have 1 small panel crack from clipping the tow hitch of the trailer. You’re always welcome to come have a play if you come across the river.

    And it goes on a trailer behind a 4x4 and it fits through a garden gate.... Its not pretending to be a big boy, but it can go where they can’t and do work they can’t reach ???

    ? was all made up soil ??s, nightmare finding a base. At least I know it’s done right now.
  17. kevinjohnsonmbe
    Thought about it!

    Ground works last week.... Mud! Horrible mud!

    Thats what I base my proposal on ??s I guess Vesp’s man Rory is thankful he was able to ‘move on’ before being held to his word about fixing MoJ problems. Classic public sector really...
  20. kevinjohnsonmbe
    How’s that workin out so far....? take the existing MoJ budget and carve it up thus: first time offenders - get lions share of budget for rehab. 2 time offenders - benefit from existing jail facilities 3 and subsequent time offenders - in the quarry

    Hard labour, splitting rocks in a quarry, earn your food and rest through compliance.

    I think you’re not far off Vesp.
  24. kevinjohnsonmbe
    Interesting - I hope you’re wrong.

    You see it as America ramping it up Mark? Seems an odd way to look at it (unless you think the tanker attacks were a CIA op?)
