Greek tragedy

Published on Tuesday 14 February 2012 00:00

Watching the sad scenes of Athens burning at the hands of its own people, I can only say how glad I am the Elgin marbles remain safe in London and have not been returned to such a savage, not to mention fiscally irresponsible, nation.

I wonder if the price of yet another Euro bail-out of Greece could be the transfer of the remaining portion of the Parthenon to London where it could be reunited with that removed by Lord Elgin to the British Museum for safekeeping and the whole rebuilt in the East End after the Olympics have moved on.

I am afraid your irony is wasted on the likes of Mogatrons, Mr Douglas.

For a brief moment...."have not been returned to such a savage, not to mention fiscally irresponsible, nation"........I thought you were referring to England, the riots and Westminster...............then I realised what a tragic, imperialist racist you actually are.........You accuse the Greeks of being fiscally irresponsible and savage?.....May I suggest you remove your blinkers and take a look close to home.
