I do wonder if the comment about Oxford Ragwort is motivated by the
general hysteria about ragwort that is prevalent. Often stirred up by
by those with a financial interest. Common ragwort is not the problem
that it is often portrayed to be. See. http://www.ragwortfacts.com

Definitely. If you see a pasture infested by ragwort, you can be
sure that it is used by yuppies to keep their gee-gees in. In
a well-maintained pasture (i.e. one that is used for mixed grazing
on a regular basis, or mown at a very high setting when ragwort
(and thistles) are beginning to set seed), it will not take over.

And that's in addition to the points made in those pages!

It is legal to dig up a few bluebells for personal usage, though you might be stealing if there is a private landowner. It is illegal to dig them up to sell commercially.

I have not successfully transplanted wild English bluebells into my garden, even though they grow in the wild nearby.

It is illegal unless you have the landowner's permission.
The law is quoted here.
