Konini Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Some brilliant soul in Athens should be getting a huge pay rise this morning; the return (or non-return) of the Elgin Marbles has made headlines around the world - even my local radio station, BBC Tees have been talking about it this morning. And how was this masterpiece of publicity obtained? By asking legal advise from George Clooney's new wife. While I'm sure that the Greeks have a very valid case for getting their relics back, the new Mrs C must surely have known that the first new case she took on would make world headlines and that it would have been more appropriate for it to have been a case in her chosen field of speciality: Human rights. More succinctly, why didn't the people handling things for the hapless duo currently incarcerated at Koh Tao think of getting to her before someone who's only concern is a few bits of marble, pretty and historic as they might be? Just sayin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soutpeel Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Interesting ... Were the Marbles made in Thailand? David you may not be aware of this but Thailand is the regional hub for ancient Greek antiquities, and I don't mean Costas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konini Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Were the Marbles made in Thailand? Nah, but the laws that will quite likely see those two poor buggers sentenced to death were. It was an opportunity, a situation just waiting to be manipulated. DISCLAIMER: If they are truly guilty, lock them up and throw the key away (sorry, can't agree with execution). What I've seen and read about this particular case gives me a big case of the sads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
