Good link, but I'd believe most of the points, so his schtick's a little grating.I had a non-consequential disagreement with a protestor who was trying to prevent the felling of The Happy Man Tree*, which was the British contender for European Tree of the Year. It was a large tree about 10 minutes walk from my studio here and was being cut down to make way for a large new development in North London (apparently the largest residential development in western Europe).
Sure, it was a nice old tree, but it was clearly a nice old tree that was once a nice young sapling, planted by man along a roadside in Norf London. I figured their entire rationale was flawed in trying to save this one tree, where instead they could have used the energy and wasted legal costs to encourage the planting of more and perhaps maturer trees, rather than the sparse row of weedy saplings that replaced it all. Stupid.
No fan of the development, but crissakes, pick your battles.
- Also, the cunts liberally grafittied stencils of their cause on the walls of a load of people's actual fucking houses on my walk in to work. Total cunts.Nairn
- More trees equal less stabbings. Apparently.PhanLo
- If Haringey is anything to go by, that means we should have at least a fuckload more stabbings. I can think of four in the past three years just 5 mins walk ..Nairn
- ..from where I'm right now sat, and there're a fuckload of trees on the streets here.
