"UNESCO is I believe the FIFA of the international heritage circus" declares a comment published on Dealer Dave's coiney blog. "Perhaps the time is ripe to reassess UNESCO in its entirety, given the heritage and other scandals left in its wake" it goes on. Obviously I missed something here, not being a reader of the British tabloids. Has anyone noticed how the coiney blogs and websites are so very keen on "reassessing" everything and everybody else, except the way the no-questions-asked antiquities trade is run?
