The Stone Henge people are saying that the water, lichen, and powder would have reacted badly. I do not have the education to know if that's true or not.
Strangley, 2 days ago they said they'll have to get the experts out to have a look at it, before they can tell.
What a very quick turnaround that, apparently, was......
They’re probably just a bunch of upset babies blowing everything out of proportion, of course they would go to the most unlikely and extreme outcome.
Meh.
Their job is to defend stonehenge at all costs. They wouldn't let people look at it if they could get away with it.
Of course they're going to say that the powder is reckless and could potentially upset the lichen or something.
It's hard to believe that this stunt could have any measurable impact in another 10 years or so.
Nor did the protesters I would guess.
Neither do the media outlets, but that's the story their running with because the oil companies run ads on their networks.
