I (inadvertently) kill many living things so I've no helpful advice on what to do about the tree, but want to echo how shitty this is of the neighbour. We have a fig tree, so if anyone has any suggestions involving using cuttings, I'm happy to help if we can x

“…when speed cameras are doing the ticketing, the proportion of tickets issued to Black and white drivers aligns closely with their respective share of roadway users. With human enforcement, in contrast, police officers stop Black drivers at a rate that far outstrips their presence on the road.”

I changed my matchday car park (because the ones I usually choose between appear to have developed sinkholes...what a metaphor). So, you're welcome, fellow Blues.
