What an utterly ridiculous situation to get themselves into, and shows to whole world what a bunch of clowns they are in 10 Downing St.  ::)

How the hell have they let this escalate?  ::)  All they had to say to the Greeks is, You can ask but the answer will be no...

Incidentally, a museum in Germany handed over some Benin Bronzes worth millions to Nigeria recently and they were promptly sold off to private collectors!  ;D

Bet that Nigerian prince was chuffed to bits to get his sacred icons back so he could flog 'em on. Made a change from romancing desperate old ladies from Wolverhampton out of their children's inheritance.  ;D

I found it amusing when one of the Greek officials said that the British Museum only want to keep them for ticket money..........it's free entry!

Just the queueing to get in is a pain in the arse, used to go there a lot when I was a kid & walk straight in , took out two youngest grandchildren there a couple of years ago never again.

I wonder what the marbles are worth?  ???  :-\

Priceless?  ???   If so, we should offer to flog them to the Greeks at a knock down price of £3 trillion and clear the national debt!  :y

Well it depends how much they want them eh?  ???   ;)

Maybe when they get their WW2 reparations from Germany they'll be able to buy them?  :-\ 

Or maybe their benevolent masters in Brussels will stump up?  :)
