The British star seeking to return the Marbles
.
Stephen Fry through his personal blog, saying it is time to return the Parthenon Marbles in our country as a move to help "our good friends the Greeks are in a very difficult situation," but also as a tribute to good friend, Christopher Chitsens unconventional writer who died last week and who passionately supported the return of Parthenon Marbles to their natural place. It could be seen as an even philhellenic voice from those who do not sweat the ears of British if Fry was not a very popular personality: Actor, writer, author, poet, TV presenter, radio producer, a board member of the team Norwich City and a member of the Organisation of British Jews on the Rights of the Palestinians.
's love for Greece known, has often expressed admiration for our philosophy and the Golden Age of Pericles - but his recent essay on his blog is one of the most fervent expressions of support for our country. "Greece has made us," he says at one point. "I owe.They have built a wonderful museum and are ready for the return of the sculptures, and today more than ever need such a moral boost ... Such a move would also help the rest of Europe to realize that we are always fraudulent ALVION, as we believe. "
As published in "Sunday Nation," Fry in his great essay cites his own arguments against opponents of return Marbles - particularly those that have been expressed by people in the British Museum.It also cites a poem by Lord Byron in Greece and explains how the return of the sculptures would help the country in this difficult time and cost, as would be increased significantly by tourism.
It also considers it appropriate time to return is the summer of 2012, when London will host the Olympic Games. Considers appropriate moment, because "it is a tremendous opportunity to appease the spirit of the great Chitsens to recover some dignity we have lost recently in Europe, to correct a huge unfair (the theft of marbles) and express our solidarity and love for Greece and the ideals that gave us. "
It also points to mark the Cameron campaign to lift the national sentiment of the British, that no Briton can not actually feel proud if you do not return the marbles.
