They are heading to Greece. They will be there within the next 10 years. If Starmer doesn’t just hand them over, then the Greeks will use their veto to stop the UK joining the EU. Since Starmer wants good relations with the EU without actually committing to join, then the Elgin Marbles will be a good start point, as well as doing the right thing.
I am quite happy for him to go to Greece if he wants to stay with the Marbles so much.
They’re not in Greece though are they?
ofc they are not. It is ridiculous to want to hold onto them. The amount of people who want to keep them in the UK is very small.
EDIT: to correct a typo.
No they’re not in Greece that’s the point.
Greece want them in Greece not in the UK.
Typo - OFC they are not. But they will get them under Starmer, he has said as much.
I’m totally confused by everything you say because none of it seems to have any connection with the previous comment.
The statues are not in Greece They’re in the UK, that’s the problem.
What are you saying? Because I literally can’t work it out.

It’s nothing to do with the British government where they’re displayed. It’s entirely in the remit of the British museum.
Give over you clown. Who pays the wages and assigns staffing at the museum.
Anti-royal pro-colonial is a angle we don’t often see.
Giving things back is not pro-colonial. Did we even have any claim on Greece as a colony?
