Greek tragedy

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.
