Apropos of this, it turns out the first appearance I can find of the phrase "war on motorists" in the British press is even earlier - 1902. Although the limit then was 12mph...
![THE WAR ON MOTORISTS A BIG HAUL SCARBOROUGH. I At Scarborough County Police Court yesterday, fewer than five motorists appeared in answer to summonses charging them with ' having furiously driven their cars to the danger of the public. Mr. G.

Bah, ça a fait marrer les gens. La cheffe suprême toute petite qui pulvérise la grande saucisse, que veux-tu, ça valait le sacrifice.

@Qi2Navet bravo pour ton courage et ton abnégation. Encore une preuve de ta conscience professionnelle @FoucPerotin@Claire
@FoucPerotin je n’ai jamais abordé de fille dans la rue non plus (trop timide et trop conscient du grotesque de la situation). Mais j’ai été abordé très directement, comme une fille pour le coup, dans un lieu public, à savoir la cour d’Henri IV le jour de la rentrée en hypokhâgne (1974). Je n’en revenais pas. On s’est mariés plus tard et on a eu une fille ensemble, mais c’est une autre histoire.

The poem honours another famous political poem. The ode to our sycamore was written by Simon Heywood.

The sycamore was approximately 300 years old and was/is in excellent health. Those who felled it were professionals with professional equipment, so it's unlikely to be the (now bailed) 16 yr-old arrested yesterday.
We, us Northumbrians, are being asked what we'd like to see happen at the gap now.

Personally, I am campaigning for coppicing. https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/discover/nature/trees-plants/what-is-coppicing
I've seen opinions which say the tree is too old... but given it's clear robust health, I say we owe it to the tree and the land to give it a try.
I invite anyone moved to respond to please do so (be kind to our local paper - it's not used to going viral) because the Spirit of the Sycamore has an international reach.
Our Sycamore in the gap starred alongside Kevin Costner & Morgan Freeman in the 1991 film 'Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves'. https://www.greatbritishlife.co.uk/news/23820137.sycamore-gap-also-known-robin-hood-tree/
The Force is strong with this Sycamore - let's give the tree a chance at resurrection & *eternal* life!
