Spot on 

Love this comment; "The UK is the largest supplier of independence days in the world "

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!

.... All they had to say to the Greeks is,  ...... we're still looking at them ....

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.

Maybe he was sending dick pics to the curator of the German museum.

That would be enough to put the willies up anyone

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.

Only a load of old rubble anyway. Dave the Builder will sort it for 'em.

I'm not able to help
i'm busy looking for My own marbles ,which I've "miss-placed" 

NO ! not lost 

[Sir Tigger KC]

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!

Not as much as you'd think clicky

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?
