Looks like it been fixed up with a bit of trickery It's a shame as it didn't leave in that state it's just the journey wasn't particularly kind to it.
Hasn't this been a bit of a running trend now? I'm sure I'm having Déjà vu from it.
This headline comes up every single year without fail.
Yes its like every year some cunts go complaining. Grow your own damn tree
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Londoners have mocked the appearance of this year’s "half-dead" Trafalgar Square Christmas tree, with some insisting it should be sent back to Norway.
Standing at 62ft (19 metres) tall, the spruce grew in Nordmarka, just outside of Oslo, before being chopped down, transported 1,000 miles and unveiled in central London on Monday in a scrawny condition.
People on social media were quick to mock the tree, which appeared to have been missing half of its volume before workers were seen hammering in extra branches, performing a “Christmas Miracle” transplant.
Norway sends the UK a Christmas tree for Trafalgar Square every year as an annual tradition to thank its attempts to help defend the country during the Second World War.
According to the MailOnline, this year’s tree may be the last dispatched from Norway with the tradition and transportation seen to be outdated and environmentally unfriendly.
An official Trafalgar Square Tree social media account defended the appearance in a series of sassy posts.
