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

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?  :)

Well I'm sure Sir Starmer will hand it all over and get nothing in return.  ::)

Still we'll all get to feel good about ourselves as His Majesty's Labour government pulls off the greatest virtue signal in history.  :)                                             :-\

Will we get reparations from the Italians for the Roman invasion, or the Danes for the vikings, the French, for the Normans ?
Nah, didnt think so.  ::)

What did they ever do for us?  :-\

The Romans built nice roads, baths and stuff, but when they left we let them fall apart.

The Danes saw that, so didn't bother building any thing. Just raped and pillaged. We stupidly thought that being nice to them and handing over lots of cash would result in them being nice to us. It didn't work.  ::)   1500 years later we made the same stupid mistake!  :-X   ;D

The Normans carried out the first census, raised taxes off the back of it and built some nice castles.  :y  Mostly in Wales.  :-X                                  ;D

Matters not. They invaded and enslaved the Brits.  ;D
The Brits invaded half the world and taught them civilisation but they are still whining about.  ::) :D

Nope, they 'lost' it in the Caribbean and Irish Sea and some fortuitous piratey types found it.
