strimming or cutting it makes it even deadlier due to the toxins it contains needs pulling out with the roots and burning or it will just come again

Aye it's a b*****d to get rid of safely. I heard you can get fined for failing to take measures to control it, is that right?

Apparently its a notifiable weed ? but does anybody bother these days

Probably not. The countryside's going to rack & ruin, but they'll still spend a few thousand sending out a chopper to catch a few lads chasing a big rabbit with longdogs..

If the request to take action is not complied with Defra can take enforcement action under the Weeds Act 1959 where ragwort poses a risk to horses, other livestock, the production of conserved forage or other agricultural activities.

I wonder what sort of enforcement action Defra would take, and if they've ever actually taken it? Same with the Rabbit control order, I've never heard of anybody being done by them for failing to control the rabbits on their land..
