The Tories want to destroy Stonehenge to build a motorway so let's not pretend it's sacrosanct now

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 5 points 5 months ago

Is this hyperbole or literally true?

You might have to state your sources there.

I'm aware of the tunnel and at no point would it "destroy Stonehenge". There are concerns that construction might harm as yet undiscovered parts of the wider ritual landscape.

Oh so you DIDN'T want a source, you just wanted to argue about it?

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 1 points 5 months ago

I wanted a source that backed up what you said.

It's the same handful of obnoxious individuals over and over making it look like it's a majority.

That said, this thread started about Tories, and about half the population lean that way even if they don't vote for 'em...
