FED UP to the back teeth with those who assert religious privilege. By pussy-footing around the believers in cause offence, we prolong their unfair privilege.

Interesting that because (and I'm not anti-Pagan, far from it, being the author of the HA article that attacked the pope for attacking them) but in my opinion EH and NT pussy-foot around FAR too much, allowing pagans unfair privilege. They're a tiny minority, as are the Avebury residents. Good luck to them. But the vast majority of stakeholders (everyone else in the world that has an equal interest and equal stake in ancient sites) gets short shrift in terms of a say, or a share in information or decision making. The authorities seem to think they've ticked all the necessary boxes if they've outreached to locals and pagans. Well they haven't. They are everyone's monuments.

What we need is a Federation of Secular Non-Residents....(membership: X million)

Let NT and EH report to THEM, hold Round Table and site meetings to keep THEM informed and allow one of their representatives to climb Silbury annually to proclaim "There is no God!" It's all about democracy, not misinterpreting some nancy advice in Conservation Guidelines that says always involve the locals and those for whom the places are special. It's the 21st century, we all have the internet and transport so we're ALL local and we ALL have very, very special interest in the places so how about outreaching to and flattering and fully informing US?! And FIRST - since we vastly outnumber the others and we're paying the bills!
