I most certainly would not describe myself as a Conservative, but I can't help thinking that the Labour Government has generally been crap about all things 'Heritage.' English Heritage becomes increasingly impoverished, sites are turned into wedding venues and the boring unprofitable ones ignored. I can't help thinking the opposition were less bad. Perhaps they attracted more toffs who had an interest in old things, mostly because they owned them. Dare I say they might have been more archaeologically inclined than a bunch of former lawyers and economists/bankers.
