Your original post pointed out that the UK have a smaller percentage of tree coverage than most other European countries. These other countries also in general have a far lower density of population than ours, far, far lower in some cases. The UK is very heavily populated. Hence little room for trees. Sorry the facts do not fit with your political persuasions. To repeat. There is no shortage of space for tree growth. It’s just not a priority. Nor is it perceived as valuable in the uk. The low number of trees has nothing to do with population. These are the facts, not some fantasy about immigration.

Frigging hell, even the trees are foreigners. We have imported at that level for centuries.

We know you don't like reality Maple but Britain is already the fifth most densely populated country in the world. All our countryside will have to be set for farming, power creation and reservoirs as the population swells. You have no grasp on reality. Farming is going to reduce spectacularly over the next few years. But hey, I am so pleased this turned into a thread on immigration. Again. As usual. Why don’t you go back to the politics area and leave general alone

Birch trees have thin whip like twigs. These flail around in the wind and destroy the leaves of any nearby competing broad leafed tree.

These are the facts, not some fantasy about immigration. To say that the lack of trees has nothing to do with population is staggering. Truly staggering. Go to France and you can drive for hours without hardly seeing a soul. Even our country lanes are busy! There have been some idiotic posts on here over the years, but congratulations, you have just won! I genuinely can’t make out if you are of low intelligence or just refuse to believe things that don’t sit with your political beliefs. Either way you are wrong.

I was amused in the run up to the recent election by the three main parties all trying to outdo each other with the number of trees that they would plant if elected.

I genuinely can’t make out if you are of low intelligence or just refuse to believe things that don’t sit with your political beliefs. Either way you are wrong. Let's try again for the hard of thinking Deforestation largely happened 3,000 years ago. Perhaps it was linked to immigration at that time - if you like and it makes you happy to blame immigration. Britain is full of scrubland suitable for reforestation. Other countries have put effort in over centuries to reforest, Germany being a good example Maybe I am thick as you say. If that is the case, so is HM Government and all relevant scientists. Next time you assert I am thick, kindly give me the science that proves it. To be clear, population has an effect but it isn't the reason - that springs from 3,000 BC and WW1. Recent deforestation by contrast is on a far more minor scale and has been driven primarily by road and electricity pilon building rather than housing.

You worry about trees being planted here which on a global scale is insignificant and yet you don't worry about our tiny island being overrun by vast numbers of migrants. I call that clueless.
