Did you know they can cut down trees without warning?


Recommended Posts

Trees, I thought we were talking about trees and I still say the Victorians and more likely Edwardians with some of these trees did not give a fig about what they might look like or what size they might have grown to in 2007.


The infrastructure argument is for another thread surely? But I still think you see this issue with rose tinted optical ware. Although I do accept many of your point on this. Nice of me huh?


Finally, if the (Victorian or any other period) structure of one's house is threatened by a tree and one is unable to sell it either because one's buyer cannot get insurance cover, or a claim would take forever to sort out and you might want to move, and the buyer might think they are stuck with one insurance company and an uncompetitive premium which they cant change one might think the tree is inappropriate to it's surrounding? Or does the tree come first no matter what?

Fine. Discussion over, as I see no point in engaging with you any further on this issue. In fact I've thought that from when you started referring to me as 'that posh bloke'.

    • Look at the national debt of the US.  It's ginormous.  The US spent their way out of the 1930s depression. Which is what the UK should have done rather than the Coalition's austerity. Look at the harm and division austerity led to in the UK. If only it was simple.
    • Floating a few ideas to gauge consensus indicates that there is no strategic plan.  It's just political dithering. It represents a fundamental inability to recognise the fundamental structural  issues concerning the nations economy. In keeping with France, Germany and many other European countries, the UK's economic health is in decline. In the last two decades, much of government spending has been funded by debt.  The cost of servicing that debt is currently running at around £95 billion and that is increasing steadily. It means we are living beyond our means. We are in a debt spiral. the government is funding a welfare state that has gone out of control. We cannot continue to have a situation where millions here prefer to live off Universal Credit  plus other benefits. Some of them also earn additional untaxed income from the grey economy. We have to reduce govt spending. It is the elephant in the room. There has to be cutbacks - no tinkering but real cutbacks  and austerity. Committing to austerity and  major cutbacks will reestablish credibility in the financial markets. This alone will reduce the cost of servicing the national debt. It's a virtual circle but it does need political courage not indecisiveness. Stop rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.!  
    • @malumbu I don't know the answer either but I do know that floating multiple ideas leads to uncertainty and spooks the economy.  If they want to grow it, they should be more cautious about what they say as they are currently in danger of digging the financial black hole deeper as markets and investors will be wary.
