Stonework from all the UK used and its purpose to be symbolic in keeping foreigners out back in the years dot.

Nothing much has changed, it seems - and will Farage adopt the Stonehenge as a branding icon for Reform?

[Old_Geezer]

It does have a certain ring to it.

[Peter Pedant]

and campaign that the blue stones are returned to Pembroke ?

( jesus that one liner expects you to know  which stones at Stonehenge are imported from whatever place - and a pun on returning new comers. I am in the wrong  place)

[DTCwordfan]

well this 'news' does take the biscuit. After all, I thought it was the original neolithic rock venue....

[Peter Pedant]

yup learn a thing a day

The smaller bluestone elements have attracted more attention from scientists, and the Stonehenge bluestone origins have been traced to the Welsh hills in Pembrokeshire, with speculation on the site at Waun Mawn in the Preseli Hills and the possibility that these stones were taken and used to build Stonehenge.

this enlarges / changes the cultural significance of Stone Henge at the time the blue stones arrived ( not local but  national see)

and of course 1000 years later, the significance may have gone back to being local. The archeologists have a whale of time staring at their belly buttons

Never was Dr Johnson so correct as in the case of Nasty Nigel.

[Peter Pedant]

er yeah

OK Nasty Nigel - NOT Nigel Lythgoe ( had a heart attack and his wife left him) but The Nige - - Farage silly!

Dr J - a woman preaching is not a spectacle because it is done well but that it is done at all !

Phew all cloak and dagga to avoid the mod's knife !

[Canary42]

Dr Johnson: Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel

[Old_Geezer]

And the first defence of the true patriot.

[Peter Pedant]

keep 'em coming Canary - at least they get me thinking

which a thousand "foo what dat den" never does

[johnk]

Do Germans such as Mrs Farage count?

[davebro3]

Well the portcullis is the official emblem of parliament and that's done b-all to keep the bar stewards out.

Morons will love this, and if it doesn't work, something else wonderfully British. Hadrian's wall perhaps.
