Jon, you seem to be confusing political platitudes with a genuine Government capacity to quantify cultural value. "Unique" and "beyond measure" and "irreplaceable" are much used words that show it CAN'T. If the tunnel goes ahead it will be because the Government wills it, not because they've applied a meaningful measure to the cultural loss.
"Unique" and "beyond measure" and "irreplaceable" are words used by every lobby group Nigel. From the point of view of people outside the special interest group, and probably government, it's up to the lobby group to make the case for what they believe to be true. If they don't make any effort to prove the case, the likelihood is that they don't have a case.
It's been nice having this chat Nigel
