I suspect there is an element of Yes Minister about this announcement ...... ?25m is a piss in the ocean compared to the overall figure, but few, if any, of the other projects that will be cut can generate easily recognisable (dare I say it) sexy images ... So Stonehenge is thrown in because it enables the press/media to dress the story around something that the average punter will recognise...According to the Guardian the project could go ahead if private money is found to replace the governement contribution.....so maybe if we all chipped in a little it might still go ahead. Perhaps they could sell advertising rights to fund the project....so from 2012 we might be able to visit the 'BAJR Stonehenge Experience'......:face-stir:
With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
