Just to be clear , they were not stolen and the British Museum has the proof of deeds provided to them 200 years ago . |
Marbles in the gutters .

Wonder if the Romans will pay reparations and return all the gold they stole from Britannia Plus reparations for all the slave they transported |
That is exactly what I say when people talk about reparations for slavery, look to Rome, the Vikings, Arabs and several African tribes too.
To paraphrase, let them who are without sin claim the first payments! | | | |

They claim reparations off the UK, as we're the only country that might be dull enough to pay up. |  |

So not one argument why the UK government should retain these stolen items.
We are all agreed then.
Good.
What about reparations for the theft ?
Has to be i think.
Lovely people the Greeks 🇬🇷. |
Hardly stolen they were bought from the Otterman empire who ruled Greece at the time.
Do at least try and get your facts correct before you post. | |

Google says …….. ‘Lord Elgin insisted he had permission to remove the sculptures from the Ottoman Empire, which controlled Athens at the time. But the original letter giving him permission has been lost and the wording of what remains is disputed. In 2022, the Greek culture minister accused him of “a blatant act of serial theft’.
And I believe the Greeks 🇬🇷 | |

Still hardly Stolen as all the evidence was proves he legally obtained them from the Ottermans who governed Greece at the time.
With out him buying them they would have been lost or destroyed for ever. | |

Well as Greece did not exist as an independent country until after the Elgin Marbles were sold by the Otterman rulers not sure Greece actually know if they were sold or not. | |
