Hallo bill cobbetts

Do you not realise the fate of the Parthenon marbles is analogous to the fate of the GCs? Whilst so little regard is placed upon rightful ownership, and the right to return to one's shelter of thousands of years, by the mightier powers who envy and strip us of our properties, then we can never hope to liberate Cyprus for our people.

It is a crying shame that the religious significance of this cultural bastion is mocked by the British authorities who claim the higher echelons of sophistication for themselves.



Once the home of our goddess Athena, the Parthena, then later a Christian Church for the Virgin (Parthena) Mary, it has seen many invaders. It took the Brits, with the help of the Turks, to strip it. Ditto Cyprus.

Hello LolaT .... and ............Pollocks!

No one has a right to own the World's Treasures. Those who think of these things in terms of property and ownership, rightful or otherwise, really are losing the plot and devalue the very things they claim to treasure.

Much of this campaign, and this is borne out by the pickies of those unshaven, black-shirted and prob un-washed protesters in the picky above, is about Nationalism, and this is also supported by the statement of the Spokesperson for the nationalist rabble who describes the Marbles thus...

" .......these Hellenic cultural treasures ...... " !!!!!!!!!

Now that's a nationalism that some in places like Gr and Tr may be comfortable with, but please be so kind as to keep that kind of very offensive trash out of our Enlightened London and out of debates about conservation.

... and while we're at it, let's put a good deal of the blame for the appallingly sorry state of the modern-day Acropolis where it belongs.... two thousand years of deliberate suppression and defacement of what were seen as Embarrassing Symbols of a Former Paganism by Orthodox Christianity, and a century or more of neglect and incompetence by modern Gr governments, who have proved themselves as good at preserving heritage as they are at managing the public finances.

What are you talking about? The Parthenon was under Ottoman rule till 1821. Those imbeciles used it as an ammunition storage facility until they managed to blow the temple up.

Oh, why not blame Turkey for the Venetians being lousy shots.

Still, I support that all stolen treasures should be returned to the original countries. If people really wish to see these treasures, they are better in situ, in their original locations.
