      Not enough. I hate bellends who fell trees without a good reason. „Oh yeah, that living miracle of nature was in the way of compensating that I’ve got a tiny willy“

      Millionaire gets slap on the wrist and continues on doing wrong things as he can get away with it*

      Not even £1000 pee tree..
      They could have fined 10x that would have actually tort them a lesson, be a future deterrent, and could have used that money to plant hundreds more trees.

      Millionaire fined $20k… that’s half of what he spends on clothes every time he goes shopping

      Fines are just additional expenditure for millionaires. Like popping to the shops to grab a bottle of milk, no biggie. Until all fines are based on a % of all income, it wont matter at all.

      Should have been fined 10x and also forced to plant replacement equivalent trees.

      It’s be cause of situations like this that the social contract of communities is broken with it become clear that extreme wealth allows all actions to be essentially allowed.

      If a fine doesn’t hurt it’s just a cost of the job.

      For a millionaire this is just paying to do something no one else can do (see also parking wherever in London and just paying the tickets).

      Would it not have been possible to at least try and replant them elsewhere?

      I think we are all missing the bigger issue here. The representative from Natural England was Nick Squirrel…..

      Ideally, they should also order him to demolish what he’d built in addition to the fine, but these bastards have plenty of money to litigate and in the end they almost always get their way.

      That’s nothing to a millionaire.

      Stop giving the rich such an easy ride to skirt common law and decency.

      Fines and prison sentences must scale in proportion to income and influence.

    16. kaway24 on

      Fines should be means tested, otherwise the punishment is in effect only for the poor. Like traffic tickets in some EU countries, where what you pay is proportional to your wealth. Speed while poor? Might be a €100 fine, which hurts for you. Speed while rich? Might be a €1M fine. Whatever is the same PROPORTIONAL level of financial hurt 🤷‍♂️

      I’m only echoing other comments but there needs to be some kind of law introduced for fines and percentages based on wage/wealth. No, I don’t know how it’d strictly work, but the spirit would be „if you’re wealthy and you receive a fine, it’s going to be much worse than the standard.“ Just a little 1am rage at wealthy arseholes showing no responsibility.

      They should jail these fuckers. A financial penalty means nothing to them. The 2 blokes who chopped down the Sycamore gap tree were jailed for over 4 years. And they didn’t have a pot between them to piss in

      He should probably get a license for that Stargate at the end of the ramp as well.

    21. KingSolomansLament on

      If the goal of the fine isn’t a deterrence, it doesn’t need to be proportional. Maybe society is better off with the extra revenue from the fine, and we don’t need to be so mad

    22. grunt1533894 on

      I sure do hope those cliffs don’t suffer from erosion and his stupid pool doesn’t fall in the sea.

    23. AVeryNiceBoyPerhaps on

      those trees were almost certainly holding the soil together with their roots. Now they’re gone it’s a matter of time before the ground erodes away

    24. frantic_calm on

      Should not be allowed to build on there and should be made to make good as far as possible or it’s just the cost of doing business to a multi millionaire rich enough to flout the law. Should be in prison and lose the building.

      Also disgusting that he was allowed to continue clearing for a year before anyone stepped in.

    25. fsfaith on

      That’s not enough. We need an income percentage based punishment. The rich are out there being so wealthy that fines are nothing but just a bit more tax to them. It’s supposed to hurt not be a minor inconvenience.
