They have committed crimes under scheduled ancient monument laws - section 28 of the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 - "a person who without lawful excuse destroys or damgaes any protected monument....shall be guilty of an offence".

Bingo - go for it English Heritage - but no they don't want to...

Is there any way that we as a group of people can press charges? they have obviously done irrepairable damage to something that belongs to us all through heritage. can we not band together as a group who have a vested interest in the site and it's survival?

Kind of like we (representing the british people) charge two Dutch scumbags.

It's really not much different to us digging a hole through the ceiling of Anne Franks house.

They have obviously breached UK law, so we should all win and put the money towards the proper repair of the site.
