Hard to tell from the picture but that doesn't look like anything particularly fancy. A decent set of bolt croppers should go through it. They're not too expensive.

Alternatively it won't take long with a hacksaw. You'll likely be disappointed by how little metal is underneath that tough looking skin.

Yea i managed to flex it abit and i could see under the metal tubeing it was about a cm or so of twisted braided cable

Go and borrow a 4 1/2 " angle grinder and a pair of safety specs

Hacksaw is the default option.

You could try drilling the lock barrel which may or may not be successful.

If you can get the lock onto something solid, a club hammer might loosen it up. Otherwise hacksaw or angle grinder if you can borrow one.
