For a non FB user please explain ,ta .
The original poster has now copied into the thread the person she said she did not like and wanted to delete. 
So, said person gets a notification she's been tagged by x - and then sees the full post and why/how it's happened...

Somewhere.
5 different posts, 100s of replies, loads of photos of smoke in the sky.
Some speculation.
Zero facts.
There's also a man running around the town covered in blood apparently. The two things are seemingly unconnected.
That might as well be the first chapter of the next Reacher doorstop.Somewhere.

Tenner says it's a recycling / waste management centre. Seems to be the only places that catch fire these days Somewhere.

Some land on the edge of our town is being developed. It's currently a field.
Before it began, the developer shrouded the hedges around the field in netting. This is to stop birds nesting in the hedgerows before the hedges are removed.
This is, according to the local Facebook group, "cruel" and "wrong" for the following reasons:
1. Birds may get trapped in said netting.
2. Birds should be allowed to nest where they like
3. We have enough houses in the town
4. Houses are too expensive - cheaper houses need to be built for FTB'ers and should be sold for no more than £125k
5. This used to be a nice, small town but now it's overdeveloped and the town can't cope and the trucks are too noisy and where's the bypass and how will the Doctors manage and I remember when you could leave your front door unlocked.
It beats 25 posts with a picture of the sunset I guess......

Netting shouldn't be put up during nesting season anyway, though this is all a precursor for ripping out said hedgerow. Hedgerows should be retained as a wildlife corridor, it's just lazy developers at work.
Yes but I guess there are people that don't really give a s

You can't always retain hedgerows, especially if they run through a development. Indeed, that'd often lead to scenarios where homeowners have a hedgerow boundary enforced upon them, with them being liable for the maintenance of it... That won't end well!

The development has been approved - it's happening.
Therefore, it's better to prevent nesting than face having to move nests.
