"but what exactly is the next move forward if we're agreed on the simple solution?..."

Well I'll tell yer what the situation demands....

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

That a load of heritage minded laypersons suddenly stand up and says ....

" 'Nuff. We've heard a million expert words, but we also see what's still there, and has been for decades. T'ain't right!"

"So we, the unwashed, untutored and misinformed are forming a democratic movement, open to all, called
"Project Stonehenge - Reverse the Worst First." "

"We note, with distaste, the jumble that's next to the stones. We hear with disgust that the body that runs it calls it squalid and that the Mother of Parliaments says it's a national disgrace and we reflect with revulsion that neither has cleared it away."

We now call upon them to do so without further delay, or else publicly PROVE in full technical and financial detail why they can't."

That sounds like a very reasonable plan to me.

While I applaud the sentiments you express - haven't we learned that confrontation doesn't get us anywhere? If we want them to listen shouldn't we try to establish a platform before exchanging insults? The last thing we need is to drive influential people into a corner. Once there - their views harden to save face. We have to find a way to allow them to go our way without having to admit they have got it wrong and done nothing useful for decades. Machiavelli would convince them that Nigel's concept was really their own.
