  9. I think you confusing socialism with communism. Scandi countries are more socialist no mass death yet Nordic model - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG Its a continuim not an either or. Socialist ideas are more compatible with eniviromentalism e.g enviro regulation Hence why there aren't many right wing enviromentalist movements. A agree thought that many protesters don't really understand fully what they are protesting for and there is a disconnect between the radical change they call for in goverment policies, and them being ready to make the personal changes to there everyday lifestyle, that in reality they most likely wouldn't want too accept.

  16. Can see a large willow being really hard to remove ifl the root system sprout even after removing stump, but i didn't think willow suckered from its roots like e.g blackthorn?
  17. Noticed alot of random "sycamore dieback" this year in different locations Dead crowns or early leave drop whislt other trees close by are still 100% healthy green leaves Wonder if it was something to do with the drought last yr as many sycamores are up on raised cloddiau
