[News] Sycamore Gap Tree

[Ike and Tina Burner]

Everyone can claim diminished responsibility of sorts. If that’s their defence then they won’t mind being locked up in a lunatic asylum in a straight jacket and padded cell surely? About 10 years should do the trick, but maybe longer depending on etc

Did you even read what I said? I didn't mention anything about a legal defence or the actual case against him. I just said that potential mental issues is one of the many reasons you shouldn't talk about brutally killing a 16 year old. Alongside him potentially being innocent, which you just ignored.

What you said was "Doing something like this is potentially not the behaviour of someone who is mentally well" and that’s what people are responding to. It’s also true that sometimes kids are just little shits who need a good lesson. I should know, I used to be one. But again, we’ve no idea yet whether this kid is involved, or to what degree.

Less Columbo, more Columber.

If you think I'm the one on this thread being overly angry or OTT I suggest you read the previous comments in this thread. I just think it's deeply strange to talk about brutally killing someone who is legally a child and not convicted of anything.

From the Guardian

Or for balance (I know what NSC is like!) - here's the Mail

Former lumberjack quizzed over sycamore says: 'I'm not that stupid'

Reacting to social media gossip, Walter Renwick said: 'The speculation is bloody ridiculous. I'll tell you this much, I wouldn't be so sad to do that.'

Someone has planted a sapling but it has had to be removed as they require permission to plant a tree there:

Matt in the Telegraph is one of my favourite cartoonists though I agree, this was a rare one that didn't make me chuckle. Each to their own, and all that.

Apprehended by Special Branch?

yes, they just twigged who they were and decided to bring them in rather than leaf them alone.
