Obviously it means a lot to the indigenous population.

I think we should declare Shuttlingloe (the Cheshire Matterhorn) an ancient Celtic religious monument and stop ramblers from tramping up it.

As someone the thinks all religion is bollocks, it seems a stupid fucking idea.

So do I but when I've visited Mosques or Catherdrals I've respected the rules and wishes of those that believe, when I visited Uluru back in 1990 I decided to not climb it, don't feel I missed out, used the time when others climbed it to walk round it then stood and watched it change colours at sunset. Not sure what climbing up it would have added to it except making me hot and sweaty. Think the walking round seeing different views of it was better spent time.

I don’t climb St Pauls cathedral or the Vatican and would want any twats that wanted to stopped.

I know almost nothing about Australia but I'm happy if this is good for the Aboriginal community.

It's a rock.

The Vatican is a pile of bricks.

The Vatican is a pile of bricks.

The ceiling of the Sistene chapel is a load of paint.
