      Oh but it's double asfunny, seeing the people who sat they are practicing their beliefs hanging out with people who get shitfaced and try to get other people high in order to sexually molest those people. How do I know that, oh London is a tiny place and some people from those places where people like to get shitfaced, were in this video, frolicking about with their posters, about not wanting to pay money

      Yes we’d go in the early 80s when there was a mixture of “ the underground “ along with the Druids whom did their bit at sunrise along with the Buddhists c/w their portable Temple to Noddy..Ok there’d be a few curious day trippers whom looked ‘ straight off the high street ‘ but Wizards & Freaks were the patrons of the place. Fast forward to 2007 and the moment a sign reading “ No Drug Use “ etc then ( about three hours after sunrise ) a “ Chav “ - or Football Lad , immaculate Adidas from head to foot , clutching a pack of B & H in one hand and a bottle of Smirnoff , was helped by his mates atop the ‘ lodestone ‘ ( the horizontal or crossbar stone ) triumphantly yelling “ having iiiiitttt “ , I knew ‘ the tone ‘ of the place had been irretrievably diluted. ( I’m joking ) He was almost instantly dragged off by the Official Security which hadn’t been about in my day but those guys , like many more appeared to on their way home from Bournemouth Nightclubs ! We went last year and apart from the huge parking operation , smiling coppers chatting to themselves , hundreds of friendly security guards and the bag searches plus pat-down checks -And that nearly everyone there was below 35 years of age and not speaking English , nothing had changed ....🙄🏴😇❤️from Wilverley Enclosure Witches

      Its disrepectful to NOT let them party if they want to party. You never heard of a bacchanal? Probably not, because anglo-saxon christians purged the druidic tradition from their culture.

      caramel coffee yes I also was amazed at the tolerance. I'm an old raver from late 80's through the 90's ... there's a time & a place for it.
      But when you're that young you think you're giving joy & enlightening people to the power of the beat .. problem is that they're trying to enlighten older folk who have been through all that shit & just want to celebrate the elements & what ever they hold scared.
      In a way it's how it SHOULD be .. tolerance that is. I'm sure the last 20 years the spiritual goers have had to change their perspective on the young & possibly naïve (in the most flattering way) wanting to be part of the solstice. In rave tradition solstices are HUGE raves that can be really amazing. But it long takes 1 carton of bad eggs to spoil the night/s :))

      As an actual pagan, let me answer your question, it is probably because that pagan partying of antiquity involved a certain amount of religious ceremony to it. Like yeah you might get drunk off your butt on mead, or throw some herbs in a bonfire, but at the end of the day your still worshiping the old gods and the earth and there is a certain amount of reverence in it. Most of those partiers in 2016 just wanted to do drugs and don't care at all about the religious and cultural significance of the site and the day. Hope that helps

      Stonehenge is approx 5,000 years old.
      Work began on it around 3,100 BCE.
      The Druids, who were the Celt's holy men, arrived in England between 500 and 100 BCE.

      The original druids wouldn’t give a shit. No, it’s their Christian ancestors from the 17th century England who will time travel to modern England, throw up at the sight of them 🤢 and then have them all hanged for withcraft and blasphemy. I’m atheist, but I’ve read enough about people from 17th century to know they they would go insane if they saw this.

For example you pay to park but can get it refunded if you pay to see the Stones. Try explaining that to someone who doesn't speak English. The tour guides rip the place off every day passing old tickets sandwiched between two paid for tickets. It's a money machine for English Heritage, but it was donated to them by the landowner for free on the proviso it was free access for the public...yeah, nice hypocrisy.

The people who constructed and used this monument I'm sure would undoubtable be appalled by what's happened to it. If you want to actually learn about stonehenge, look up the work of Professor Parker Pearson, who has studied and excavated there for years and is one of the few people who could give you any idea what Stonehenge is actually about.

    Dear Broadly: Stop sending immature and unprepared reporters. This could have been a good story but the reporter ruined it. She just mocked the ritual done on her by that Druid priest. Bloody hell.

    If you haven't watched BBC's Merlin, then you don't know how ironic it is for the Druid's leader being called King Arthur Pendragon
