Light xmas reading for stone people but what on earth were the tories and Thatcher doing at a stone circle AND a stone for birth control which is one you rarely see amongst all these 'fertility' stones........

"101 Things To Do With A Stone Circle covers the things people have believed about and done with stone circles and other ancient sites over the past few hundred years. The list ranges from places of executions to the venue for a rock concert, from marriages to the dining table of an intrepid antiquarian with a head for heights. Some sites have been associated with fairies, the Devil, UFOs, space aliens and visionary experiences, while others have been used for promoting fertility. The cast of characters also includes Druids, Romans, ancient Egyptians, witches and Margaret Thatcher's Tory Government. Ley-lines, murders, ghosts and dowsing all feature, as well as the use of stone circles in rock music, movies and Doctor Who."

From a Guardian article about Stonehenge quoted on the Portal -

" In the late 1980s a road to some proposed new visitor centre cut across an officer's vegetable patch at Larkhill Barracks. The ministry instantly declared the patch vital to national security. The Army Board even took the matter to Downing Street and a meeting with Margaret Thatcher. When she furiously overruled it, the board marked her order "urgent" and threw it in the bin."
