Agree. But why limit it to the Elgin Marbles. There’s at least a couple of million other items that should be returned to their points of origin. Just saying.

If the marbles had not been removed when they had they almost certainly would have been destroyed forever. The Greeks couldn’t look after them, the Parthenon was little more than a ruin at the time after a load of munitions exploded and had been used as a mosque for the best part of 350 years.

There are a lot of countries that have things from other countries that they should return. Kilky never really worries about those cases though, he just likes to bash the UK government.

Perhaps the IRA could return the bodies of executed soldiers.

Brought by a Jock, who went bankrupt and they ended up in the British Museum thanks to the British Government.
This is a Scottish problem. ( I think that's how it goes these days ?).

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 🇬🇷.

Some arguments for and against in here. If it was up to me I'd move the Parthenon, it's on top of a hill and bloody hot in summer.

At the time Elgin removed them, it was to poreserve them. Elgin was worried that the Ottoman Empire, which ruled Greece at the time, would be indifferent to the damage of important artworks in the temples.

As for reparations, are YOU drunk? Returning them should be enough. After all they would likely have been destroyed if they had been left there. We should never have kept them, they should have gone back decades ago.

Wonder if the Romans will pay reparations and return all the gold they stole from Britannia Plus reparations for all the slave they transported

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