Britain should do the honorable thing and return the marbles.

Did I say honorable.....sorry!! What honour.

MPs will no longer be addressed as Rt Honorable Gentlemen. One wonders why? :roll:

Return all stolen treasures and begin with the Marbles.

The rest to follow. :lol:

Look bill, they will be saying, next, that they are not very grateful for all the advantages being part of the British Empire gave them.

'Foreigners' - ungrateful lot, there would have been no civilisation without the existence of the British Empire and the USSR.

Greece was NEVER part of the British Empire Lana...we were under Ottoman rule when Elgin hacked away the Marbles.

P.S. The Greeks invented civilisation my dear.

Love the last paragraph of this article

The British Gov is shameless. You cannot shame them into anything.

One Greek urn full of ashes is the same as another.

I'd say the Marbles are unique. Sorry to hear that you disagree. :lol:
