In this respect, I'm on Greece's side. The Parthenon is their creation and should be admired in the place was made. So in this case we have some thieves as well, but this time is the Brits. And yes, every archaeological artefact should be returned to the place were was discovered, if that country claims this.

Oh, the money's former owners should be careful as the Greeks, who took it, may become upset. The problem has a comedic side but aren't the Greeks inventors of comedy as well?
For one thing you should be worried about what is happening in Greece. Even though you're on the other side of the channel and have the pound read this:
You shouldn't use RT to prove your points. The articles at RT are completely biased. According to RT the American economy will collapse in just a few weeks, all policemen in the U.S. are racists, and Putin is the most honest people on earth.

I have never seen a newspaper as propagandist as Russia Today, only a fool would take one of their articles seriously
RT ...arguably the 'mole' coursing through Western news lit.....;-)...read but know 'what they're doin' it for...sports is ok I'd say..people know everything about sports!

Listen the 'knock on' effect of the Greek crisis is going to pose problems for more than just the UK! You may have noticed but the worlds currencies are all tied, the 'knock on' effect will spread further than just Europe.

If the Greeks weren't such jerks, I would also be on their side. But since they are, possession is 9/10ths of the law.

Except, of course, for our media which would make Goebbels and Stalin proud. Don't believe me? Watch when they report the next month's inflation rate. The job market is still awful, but it's all peaches and cream to Pravda on the Potomac.

Nobody could be more jerks than the citizens of those countries in the west that allowed their leaders and organizations to scam others and themselves. They would even justify any outright theft and not just the marbles.
According to the western media everything is peachy here also.
Uh, I'm sorry but why is a Europe without Finland not that hard to imagine???? Without Finland, Europe would lose the biggest member of the Uralic language family. It wouldn't be the same continent anymore!
Except feta, what good has came from Greece since AD500?
What bad has Greece done since AD500?
