Ok I'll bite. How so?
Surely it was the police that started it?
Or equally those trying to break the exclusion zone?

not the ones with an unfunded pension policy, some kind of uniform and an interest in fences. There isn't a single person who works for eh who isn't up to their eyeballs in upthemselveness. Prey tell Jack what is your angle.

I have no real angle except the quest for information. Though I do feel many of our monuments/ sites need protection from the 'well meaning' public after seeing all the graffiti and other damage on the inside of West Kennet long barrow.

give it a few hundred years and somebody will be claiming that graffiti as heritage. (probably son of eh). Thing is jack not that long ago Stonehenge was in private hands and presumably only survived because of the good will and shear blind luck (the taphonmonic process). Now you have the national trust and eh there to preserve it as heritage. Its a mortmain.

Just feel the need to point out what a highly naive and ignorant statement that is.

It was given to the nation by Cecil Chubb in 1918...all he got out of the deal was a baronetcy from Lloyd George in 1919.
