Yet more hyperbole from Stonehenge Alliance.....

This time on a placard outside the Royal Courts of Justice....


Remember my post of 11th Feb 2017 titled: 
"Baldrick has a Cunning Plan"
featuring Queenie, Lord Percy, Nursie, Master and Mistress Ploppy not forgetting Baldrick himself.....well they'll all be back at the 

on the 12th December and are asking for you - as a supporter, to travel across the world and support their demonstration...Will they travel all the way to London for half an hour, on their own money or use your hard earned from the coffers....I wonder?
This is what they want......

"Dear supporter,

Can you join us?  As you know, the High Court hearing is our chance to stop the earth movers from moving in and permanently disfiguring the Stonehenge landscape.  It is critical that we make the most of the High Court hearing to draw people's attention to the £2.5bn damage planned to the World Heritage Site by the UK Government for reasons that simply do not add up.
Demo on Tuesday 12 December 
Where?  On the pavement outside the Royal Courts of Justice, The Strand, London WC2A 2LL   Map link
What time? 12:45 for about 30-45 minutes 
What's happening?  Member organisations of the Stonehenge Alliance, Directors of Save Stonehenge WHS, and campaign supporters will join in, bringing banners and placards.  It will be colourful!"

And here's just a few ideas as to what your placard should read......

"What's the message?  Save Stonehenge WHS / Don’t damage the Stonehenge World Heritage Site / It’s a White Elephant / The Stonehenge road scheme is a waste of £2.5bn / Keep the earth movers out: Stop that tunnel / Save our heritage - It’s our future / Scrap the Stonehenge road scheme/ Respect Stonehenge WHS / etc"   

All of this of course, is the hyperbole mentioned earlier....nothing is going to happen to Stonehenge or the World Heritage site that will not improve what's already there!!!!   STOP MUDDYING THE WATERS - sha!

"Attending the High Court on 12 | 13 | 14 December
Numbers in court count!  The lawyers are keen to encourage supporters to attend any or all the hearing days.  However, they need to advise the High Court clerk on numbers.  If you would like to attend please can you let us know by replying to this email? 
Observing remotely: If you would like to watch proceedings on line please let us know and we will pass on your email to the court.  A link and instructions will be circulated by the court shortly before the hearing opens. 
Court opening hours: 10am til about 5pm with an hour's break for lunch at around 1pm.
Vigil 
A few supporters are planning to have a presence outside the High Court on all three sitting days.  Just turn up.

CrowdJustice target: Nearly there but not quite!
We still need to raise a further £10,000.  Supporters have been incredibly generous and donations are touching an amazing £70,000. Could you forward this email to friends, relatives or colleagues?
     
T-shirts and warm hoodies whilst stocks last! 
Supporters, Sacred Earth Activism, have designed special Save Stonehenge T-shirts and hoodies in a variety of colours in aid of the SSWHS appeal.  Huge thanks to Sacred Earth.  There's just time to order one before the demo! 
 Link here for details.

We will send one more email before the court hearing.  

Stay in touch.  As ever, thanks so much for your support.

Best wishes,
The Stonehenge Alliance team
