"Where it can be shown that the process started in the last 20 years it should be banned."

Hmmm, harsh but harsh Mr FW!

I must say I get a bit peeved at the amount of academic and official leaning over backwards to "honour people's right to express their spirituality". What about those whose beliefs are transgressed and offended by the exercising of such rights? i.e. people that like to see sites without stuff left at them? I reckon that's a just as sincere and deeply held belief system as the other one and probably held by more people.

Last week I went to Swallowhead Springs. It was garlanded in late summer flowers, perfect. Except there was lots of crap there, marring the perfection. Plus.... the 4 nearby huge sarsens which form stepping stones (and quite probably were a stone circle ploughed out of the adjacent field) were totally covered in chalk symbolism.
