So me paying a fortune on Moday and being kept behind a rope then another fortune on Tuesday for a "no-touch" half an hour, then a boozy reveller turning up for free and spending 5 hours standing on the stones on Wednesday as a result of a £200,000 annual event subsidy is not something I should moan about? Is that rather peculiar state of affairs based on Cecil Chubb's Deed of Gift or the unmentionable fact that said boozy reveller et al might kick off citing exclusive spiritual rights of access if asked to give a single penny? I'm well aware we can't pick and choose how taxes are spent but the above is a particularly unjust juxtaposition I'd have thought. I thought you were referring to "paying" via taxes. Nevertheless, your attitude is incredibly Daily Mail, Nige. It's very small-minded to resent other people getting something for free, and not everyone (by a bloody wide margin) who attends on the solstice is a "boozy reveller". You undermine your argument with the use of such hyperbole. And FYI, I don't (and never plan to) attend Stonehenge on the solstice.
