Watch This Space

The Russian Orthodox leader Patriarch Kirill has been caught doing a 'no no' .... having his photo's airbrushed to hide the fact that he wears a $30,000 (£19,000) gold Breguet watch. Not the sort of item that a simple man of the cloth normally wears .... I doubt if the late Pope John Paul II's entire possessions throughout his entire lifetime came to much more than $30,000.

However times have changed, and the Russian Orthodox Patriarch is part of the establishment .... so maybe a $30,000 (£19,000) gold Breguet watch is part of the kit .... or maybe not, as he (or someone) tried to hide it. They were caught out by the fact that they forgot to clear the table reflection of the watch.

Russian Orthodox leader Patriarch Kirill - watch this space

They have now apologised for the doctored photo and, after a bit of 'toing and froing' have restored the proper photograph to archives. All I can say is that standards are slipping since Uncle Joe's day .....people were shot for this kind of cock up ...... first you see him.
 


Then you don't ....


Now that's how you do a cover up!!
