Think that was/is inevitable after troops were withdrawn. Pretty much makes the sacrifices of various allied forces questionable at best.Why did they all die just to hand it all back to the headchoppers.

They have no clue about words such as Heritage,culture and history and if the stones happened to fall down during construction of the tunnel or because of the traffic going through it the fuckers would not bat an eyelid. Disrespectful Pricks !!
And thats before we consider the cost to the tax payer and more importantly the negative effect upon the local environment and habitat during the project. Bunch of Cunts !!!!!
Sorry,rant over. I am not happy with the plan at all as you may of realised :-)

They seem to not recognise the word conserve either, as they conserve fuck all and keep on spunking our money on ridiculous vanity projects , that no one wants.

As it is a more than likely a company owned by certain governmental pricks they can probably couteract any laws that get in the way of their profits by changing legislation !!
However BB , you are not wrong in thinking that,as thats how we would expect things to be in a law abiding democracy !!

Sorry,rant over. I am not happy with the plan at all as you may of realised :-) The stones have already been taken down and repositioned in the 1950's so if they fell down due to the tunneling it wont really make a lot of difference to the originality of the site. However I agree with the rest of your well deserved rant. Politicians have no respect for heritage or culture if profit or the economy is a factor. Money is king and everyone else can jolly well fuck off.

At the end of the day it was indeed a very stupid thing to do to try and control a country like Afgahnistan, and it was a very differnt country till the Russians stunk their tanks in . It is a great shame as its a beautiful country ruined by nosey other countries and religious nutters . I would defo have it on my bucket list or what ever you call it to visit just to get a taste of the mulberries !

Russians were scared of Islamic extremists spreading to other soviet states they held at the time hence the invasion. Its been a mess ever since,only made worse by Bush Bliar and the phoney war on terror. Too late now,whats done is done but to just completely abandon the country at this point is rediculous and the west will rue the day for doing so.Without the help of the west or other countries in the region the whole country will be back under stoneage Taliban rule in months.

The religious extremests got worse once Russia rolled in . The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini , a great read is set during those unfortunate years .

The tunnel doesn't go anywhere near the stones (allegedly) but on an already heavily congested road the construction will cause major holdups. It took us 2 hours to come through the hold up there on Friday after noon. Just sheer weight of traffic Its queuing for the roundabout that causes the delay and that is where they need an underpass.
The whole of the A303 is not fit for purpose. It can't cope with the volume and is a nightmare with all the caravans,trucks and farm vehicles winding through little villages on the single carriageway sections. At one stage it goes down to 20mph

They will end up shifting SH .It will be cheaper . Put it in a tichy field in the middlands so its more accessable ,with a cafe for druids and massive girt shop. , jobs a good un . Could probably turn it into a theme park staffed by young offenders and recovering drug addicts ,Maccy D .... and we can move on to getting Britain back to being great again . What county has the most monuments ? Move all others ther I say ! Good day out then

I know your plan Bungo, you just want it bringing closer to you :-)
One condition of moving the stones is that they must do it in the same way that they brought them there, that would be fun to watch and give us all a better understanding of the old technologies :-)

The Harold Stone in Trellech our next door village will need realigning too as it is aligned to present SH site . Lots of work for the unemployed moving hehge on rollers . Job creatiom . I can feel pride rising in my sap thinking about it .
Stone henge is currently 65 miles by road from here , moving it next to the NEC would make it 75 miles .I would let them put it in our end field , but I would want a lot of dosh , and parking rights , and a cut .
