Does it fucking matter?
I'm sure people actually interested in supporting the business can use their brains to work out the precise date it was started, if they think it's so important.

No.
That's just teuchter trying to press buttons - probably part of his great big alerts game.

I think it's a shame that both Brixton Blog and Brixton Buzz in this case have done the increasingly prevalant internet news merry-go-round thing where loads of "news" sites just copy and paste press releases and the like from other sources. It's not proper journalism.
I would prefer either a simple quote from (and link to) the original source, making clear that's what it is, or a proper piece of critical journalism where the writer has actually done some work in assessing and investigating the story themselves.

I would prefer you fucked off and died, but we can't always get what we want, sadly.
OMG, that's awful. Have you tried to find out what happened?

basically a scrotum
Is that fence post recent? Looks like the roots were cut whilst putting it in. You can't just knock a tree like that over.

Eyw, that's horrible
Good point, Rushy. If you do find out who is responsible for this, demand that new trees be planted. When the new development was built at the back of my block, some bastards chopped down a mature cherry tree which had brought joy to me and my neighbours for years. I went ballistic, and within a few weeks they'd planted two baby cherry blossoms.

Or call Trees for Cities.
Run by an old Brixton neighbour of mine. They are looking for any opportunity to put new trees in.

He really wants to pull the levers but he can't get his hands on them.

No. It's been there for longer than fifteen years.

No. i just took pictures of it
before my basketball session. It was nice to smell the blossom close up. A wall of blossom to hurl my ball against does not compensate for a tree that is surely lost.Is there a tree surgeon in the house? Can it just be pushed back upright?
This is a picture from inside the court, if you look carefully you can see one of my balls.
Then you don't mind me telling you that you are wrong.
Damnation! He/she got the alert he/she was looking for, belatedly;

Who am I to say you're wrong
You can see from your original picture that the grass has been recently cut too.

It could be both. Roots weakened some time ago by fence, then lawnmower man is the straw that broke the camel's back.

A bit melodramatic, no?

I think that after longer than 15 years the roots would have re-established themselves from a bit of surface fence work.

Might be a concrete footing in there though which would mean they couldn't spread out properly in that direction which would be consistent with the direction in which it's fallen over.
It's a strawman argument, you are simply wrong.

Dexter Deadwood I think he might be right tbh. I've reversed a landrover into a tree only a bit bigger than that (yes, yes, insert female driver jokes here) and it was fine- an uninterrupted root system is the same size as the tree canopy.
