I tried to answer this a few time yesterday. I couldn't think of anything other than to stuff it full of screenshots from this place.

It was Dolmens at Dusk night for us and our @UCLarchaeology students. So special to journey through the west coast prehistoric landscape as the sun sets and shadows older than time gather.
This looks like sloppy reporting from the @BBCWorld - it's years of funding cuts, not a sudden lack of staff behind this. We need a strong, well-funded EA, with regulatory teeth. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
