This is hardly the Greeks’ fault, but the news is interesting.
The UK Foreign Office is warning the British that there’s been an increase in rapes of British girls on the Greek islands.
Sexual offenses and rapes have more than doubled in the last decade (39 last year; 17 in 1998).
The only problem with these numbers is that the number of British tourists has also more than doubled in these years and in the majority of these cases, the offenders are also British.

Maria Margariti, a former judge, has been purged from her position in the judiciary after trying to bring to light how funds for post-eartquake reconstruction were stolen, and how a small room in the courthouse is being used to traffic women and children.
Ironically, the plaque on the room’s door reads “children protection services”.
When she tried to protest outside the PM’s house and decided to start a hunger strike in order to be heard, she was taken to a police station by plain-clothes police officers.
The Justice Ministry made no comment, and the President of Democracy (a very fair figure in the country’s politics) is said to have agreed to examine her case, but after so many months of waiting, we’ve still not heard from her.
What makes this case bizzarre is that this news was only picked up by the BBC and no Greek channel, big or small, ever made a single reference to Judge Maria Margariti.
Do I smell a cover-up?
Judge for yourself on YouTube.
