      It’s so minor in the grand scheme of things but stuff like this does make me so sad just because it’s so fucking mindless. Community spirit is desperately low in this country as it is, so for some scumbags to go ahead and vandalise what little there is of it in a village is just senseless.

      Cowards. Pointless. Just ruin it for everyone else. A complete lack of respect.

      This is like what happened with the sycamore gap.

      It’s such a mean and pointless crime to commit I have so little sympathy.

      I hope they find the perpetrators.

      The last two decades have really done a number on this country, between mass migration shattering local communities, to covid making everyone insular and looking after their own, to suppressed wages and inflated prices, repeatedly incompetent leaders, and more exploitation of a formerly high trust society rising by the day, mail failed to be delivered on time, police fire and ambulance stretched so much they’re now dotted lines, hospitals full, job centres full…

      We really are in the shit – and then this? I can’t say I’m surprised as much as I am saddened that we cannot even celebrate without someone being a dick.

      its minor but it makes me sad cause the tree did nothing wrong and that’s a lovely tree.

      I don’t care about Christmas in the slightest – BUT – What kind of absolute scumbag does this?

      I mean. Seriously – Nothing is achieved by this other than to piss people off and it took a serious amount of effort to do.

      I just ignore “Christmas” it doesn’t harm me, it makes people happy, me not liking it is a me problem – I don’t need to try and ruin the enjoyment others get from it to make it all go away.

      This is why we can’t have nice things.

      When I take my kids to France on holidays, they’ve started noticing and commenting on the little differences. e.g.

      * going into supermarket, buying alcohol at the self checkout, and no-one checks my age.

      * Well maintained roads without potholes.

      * Knives for sale, everywhere, sometimes even left unattended outside a shop. You select the knife you want, then go inside to pay for it.

      * General reduction in litter and vandalism.

      * public art and decoration is possible because people don’t vandalise it as much, so places look nicer

      When I travel around Europe and see clean and tidy towns with flower beds and lovely urban furniture, it makes me sad that we can’t have stuff like that in the UK because some fuckwits would just trash it immediately.

      I wish the justice system would take this low-level petty crime much more seriously. It makes Britain a worse place to live.

      It’s so simple “The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth”

      We’ve defunded Sure Start centres, Youth Clubs, Community Centres. Teenagers not only don’t have a space to meet, they’re literally chased down from parks and outside shops. If they find a bench to sit on, it’s going to get dismantled in short order.

      Compare that to a lot of European countries investing heavily in public spaces, sports and community classes and events.

      We’re failing the young on an epic scale.

      But I thought we weren’t allowed Christmas because of the Muslim people? You’re telling me that homegrown British people are against Christmas?

    12. ForwardCity9803 on

      When you read the article- or at least the 3/4 of it that are things people said about it on facebook- it points out that the tree was planted as a war memorial, too. That makes it even sadder

    13. PretendPop8930 on

      We holiday a lot in Europe and I’m always noticing things then saying to my wife ‘we could never have that at home; it’d get trashed’.

      I’m sure that the UK in the 90s/early 2000s was a lot better than it is now…

    14. Ravello on

      The next day them and their mates were probably complaining about how you can’t have Christmas anymore because of immigrants.

      I do think if caught, they should be made to pay for a replacement tree of the same species and similar maturity. This principle should apply to vandalism generally, they pay the costs of reparation and that repair is always done.

      Exactly why this country needs more cctv with facial recognition baked in. It’s becoming a lawless mess and when vandalism is increasing in severity, it needs to be stomped out quickly.

      I hope the council can evict the families responsible. You can be sure everyone local knows exactly who’s responsible.

      It’s time that mindless vandalism had real and serious consequences.

      Anti social behaviour should result in you being made to live outside normal society.
