This is so sad, Neil and there is nothing that can be done. Votes don't count from us little people.
I am not a sports fan, although the horses are a joy to watch, but not at the expense of 400 year old trees! As you said, it's all about money.
I read a news article about the soccer games and the great stadium in S. Africa. It stated that the multimillion dollar stadium was built next to the slums; people starving and people over indulging all within a few feet. Where are people's minds going?
Please take a lot of pictures before they start so at least there is a remembrance of them.
Sad, so sad,
Nancy
