Residents in Hatterley, Hyde, have expressed indignation over a'shocking' Christmas tree, with pictures showing the threadbare spruce missing some of its boughs, while the ones remaining appear very thin. Locals in Elsewhere have blasted 'Scrooge' Walsall Council for its 'Shabby' Christmas Tree (top right) outside St Paul's Bus Station, which has barely any lights on it in an attempt to save money. The BBC has also been chastised for its own Christmas tree (bottom right) outside its Broadcasting House in Portland Place in London. Employees of the radio broadcaster slammed the tree, calling it a "bit dramatic," while another chuckled that'very little time or licence fee money was invested" on the spruce, which is noticeably different in comparison to previous years.

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: The most valuable historical data from the last 2,000 years may have been on video recorder mini-tapes in my loft. I've lost the battery charger, which is the issue. Of course, academics will disagree about whether or not my children's home movies from the 1990s are really that important. And they aren't right now, historically speaking. But films like this, millions of them being taped at family gatherings and weekend barbecues, will soon be a priceless social record in one day.

In an effort to kick off their month-long march of mayhem, Met Police arrested 31 eco-protestors today. Just Stop Oil founders occupied four bridges in the capital, causing gridlock on busy highways, before converging on Parliament.
