No, that would be political - and that's not allowed in the Lounge.

I may or may not agree with such a sentiment, but I'd not mention it here.

Me: The car's fine, it's me who is having a breakdown. Please come and get me now, thanks.

I'm about half serious and half crazy. I'm inclined.

Was trimming the hedge and I "found" a wasps nest in it.
Seems to be roughly the size of a football.
What would be your next step?
I'm contemplating burning the hedge, it has become a bit tall anyway.
<edit>No, I'm not seriously considering burning the hedge down. For the exact reasons already stated in some answers</edit>

I would ask the help of a professional. My neighbor tried it one time by himself and finally recognized it was European hornet - Wikipedia[^]
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

No, they are normal wasps, but that nest is with a good margin the biggest I've seen.

Something that big should be handled by a professional. If you try to get rid of it yourself, you'll just end up getting hurt, or in the case of burning the bush, maybe burning down your house in the process.

I actually expected a different answer from you.

burning the hedge sounds drastic. I'm guessing if the wasps are there it's relatively dry/hot.
I'm picturing a situation where a fire may go out of control. (Embers, or even enough heat jumping to nearby places to start new fires up.)
I'm sure you've heard the stories of a ciggie tossed from a car during a dry spell even though it lands in a ditch or kerb flotsam the embers from that being enough to shift out on even the lightest breeze and go on to destroy forests and neighbourhoods.
Also if still contemplating that FIRST check on your local council / constituency or whatever fire regs are currently in place, these too vary depending on season / current conditions etc.
