There was a bit of rudeness at 43.30 minutes.. the trouble of being up there at 1am .. I felt for him.
Though I did understand what the story was - a very English story if I may say..though it did have a seabed core from between Orkney and Norway (but then I would - no Scara Brae or Broch for the plinth sadly) - and the concept of placing 700,000 years of humans onto the plinth was good, it kind of lost the way a bit. The comment about archaeologists being hit by the recession, seemed a bit of an add on and playing for time... help get me off here. But I would challenge anyone to go up there for an hour. Remember BAJR did ask for volunteers
There were a lot worse.. and a lot better... at the end of the day... it was an interesting exchange... that perhaps says it all... MP"Its your history" drunk "f##k off you f##kin# blah... etc" Do we engage the public? or do we appear as people on a plinth telling them they should revere a past that they can't see or touch...let alone understand ? hmmm... interesting
<hr>Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position.
