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.

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.

UK Politics

Create post

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don’t post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
