I am quite happy for him to go to Greece if he wants to stay with the Marbles so much.
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.
Giving things back is not pro-colonial. Did we even have any claim on Greece as a colony?
There was more than one empire when the British empire was at its height. Greece was under the control of the Ottoman empire. The purchase of the marbles was an agreement with them rather than the Greeks themselves.
