The act was disrespectful and does require some sort of measured response or we could face people just chopping down and defacing our natural landmark trees and destroying other historical treasures just for fun. It was vandalism of the worst sort.

Wasn't an Oak tree. Not a landmark. Not a historical treasure.
Just a hysterical over-reaction. Still no explanation of why it was worth over £5,000, never mind £600,000.
