Julian Cope presents Head Heritage

"That's fine Nige. But your argument then becomes a moral argument rather than a conservation argument."

Not at all. The image of idiots dancing on our national icon without our statutory guardian preventing it is bound to impact negatively upon the attitude of the public to all ancient sites - with the attendant conservation implications. In simple terms it's a case of "Who cares what we do at sites, EH doesn't". That's a PURE conservation matter.

No, there's no way round this. Showing respect is an integral and essential component of conservation.
