Here is a blog by Paul Barford who has been campaigning for years... the blog is temporarily on hold for a few months as he's out in the desert in Egypt but makes interesting reading from a world wide perspective......

What an interesting link, Moss, I shall be 'bookmarking' that one.

This is an interesting bit in which he talks about the British situation specifically

but you're right, it's illuminating to see such an international view of the subject.

And elsewhere our valiant Mr Swift gets approvingly quoted, bravo.

I've read about some of the things described in that blog. Bulgaria in particular. Ancient Thracian culture is looted wholesale there with bulldozers and pickaxes. Mankind is one greedy bastard.
