"but are they (the bureaucrats) really that devious (let alone that clever)?"
Devious and clever enough to entirely exclude what's best for Stonehenge from the options document, and to slag off some of the remaining options but not others...

"perhaps it's time to hand the whole thing over to UNESCO and let them sort it out."
You mean the UNESCO that a couple of years ago put on record it's warm congratulations to the British government over it's management of Silbury?

Nah, we're on our own over this.
We could raise the money for a long tunnel quite easily though. Get the government to come home from Iraq just 11 days earlier, that'd do it. Or get the Yanks to stop just an afternoon early, that'd do it as well...
