--- Quote ---The Craziest Conspiracy Theory In Greece: "Does The City Of Kilkis Really Exist?"
Social media users have concocted the craziest conspiracy theory in Greece and are seemingly unable to give an accurate answer as to whether or not the city of Kilkis actually exists.
No one can know how urban legends and conspiracy theories begin. However, in some strange way they travel by word of mouth and spread very rapidly. Something like this has happened with the city of Kilkis in Macedonia - a city that for many does not exist.
It seems that there are many who believe it and even write it publicly on platforms, such as Reddit or Twitter.
With a simple search for the word "Kilkis" you will find dozens of comments, photos or even videos from users who wonder about the existence of this city, stating that they "have never met anyone from there."

Those arrested have the ‘goal of overturning the existing state order in Germany’, say officials
German police have arrested 25 suspected far-right extremists allegedly plotting to overthrow the state in an armed coup.
About 30,000 police carried out a series of raids across Germany on Wednesday and arrested members of a group called the Reich Citizen movement.
Federal prosecutors said 22 German citizens were detained on suspicion of “membership in a terrorist organisation”, and three people, including a Russian citizen, are suspected of supporting the group.

Just wondering... most household burglaries don't merit a police officer visiting the property, never mind an investigation. Hens' teeth are more common that arrests. Different rules apply?

--- Quote ---Return of Elgin Marbles to Greece would be a ‘dangerous and slippery road’, warns Culture Secretary
Michelle Donelan says Britain has acted as a ‘custodian’ of disputed objects and ‘once you start giving one back, where does that end?’
She added that in some cases it was “very difficult to know who to give these things back to”.
