I suspect the Government just gave the tunnel budget away to Northern Ireland so maybe the whole thing will be quietly dropped. I've read Mike Pitt's article, he is careful to say it is not a polemic ... and yet it is; even though he is at pains to say archaeologists working for the tunnel builders would take as much care over any finds as David Jacques has done at Blick Mead and hey .. hasn't Jacques already destroyed the Blick Mead environment by excavating it. I do wonder why he brought Donald Trump into the equation for any other reason than to elicit a reaction - the vision of Trump and May walking around Stonehenge holding hands is the stuff of comedies.

I live in north Wiltshire, my heart belongs to Avebury, Silbury and the Ridgeway (can I have Uffington too). I'm sad and and sorry about the intractable road/tunnel situation at Stonehenge. My own view is the traffic (too many people in vehicles trying to get somewhere as fast as possible) that is the problem, not the historic A303. If they don't want to be delayed they should take another route - or stay nearer home.
