What is wrong with people a 60's something man has also been arrested in connection with this sick act of vandilism. They should be paraded through the towns an villages with a sign around their necks stating the crime committed, while on their way to the gallows. Umm!!! is that a bit much? the gallows part?

No! just make sure the gallows are constructed from the tree he cut down!

I live only a few miles away from Sycamore Gap. The news of this act of vandalism was met with disbelief in our local community. Who would do such a thing? Its felling has been a cause of upset right across Northumberland and Tyneside. We do not believe a 16 year old would the have the ability, skill or strength to use the type of chain-saw needed to topple this 300 year old tree.

Heard the news yesterday, sad.

Has a 60 year old man not also been charged along with the wee 16 barsteward?

With the price of firewood/logs so high in the uk ,no tree is safe .

Hi John
What I saw was the tree lying cut down, don't think it would have been for firewood. My sentence would be to tie them both up to a stake on the site for twelve months and place a pile of cow pats there for the passing walkers to vent their anger.

Latest news is that the 60 year old, a lumberjack, is too sick to have done it.
Only pulled in because he lives on a nearby farm and has been given notice to move out.
He claims it would take a professional guy to do it.

Was done at night when an 86MPH wind was blowing so sound of saw not noticed.
