No mention of sticks in the ground or wet muddy bootmarks. And notably no response by the TV company to the accusation of a sacred site being desecrated. They pick the easy question to answer and ignore the other.

And I got banned from the ITV message board. Dunno if it was my username [Bints-r-us] or the way I expressed myself, but I suspect it was a combination of the two ;)

I saw it. It was a great posting, vintage stuff.

I do think there's a case for criticising T and S and the TV company's current stance as much as what they have done. An apology and an admission of a mistake would be good - and a decision to scrap the footage to avoid copycatting elsewhere. Seems like they just can't possibly be wrong according to them.

"Ban the footage" would be a good continuing call else the thing will settle down and they'll have got away with it.
