Tom is a big fan of the Greeks. They want their statues back.

Why not just give them back.

They could have a game for them. Winner takes all.

I know some great marble players.

I agree they should go back.

Have you seen the James akaster sketch on this? If you haven’t you should check it out.

Give them to Greece and while you're at it give Scotland our independence.

They let them rot for centuries

They were lawfully acquired and displayed

They are now ours

I'm not really sure rocks rot and they were under the rule of the ottoman empire when we took them.

All over

I suppose it is innevitable that certain threads will attract some ill informed and imperialist opinions. On that note I am out but those who stay in can hopefully have an unbiased and well informed debate

I don't see any reason to keep them. However, if they are given back, it will be harder to justify keeping all of the other stuff that was nicked and is in our museums.

Tell them to come get them.

We were part of the EU bailout of the Greek economy and if they pay the EU back (never gonna happen I know) we won’t get our share, so I assume they’ll be making a separate payment to us prior to collecting what they claim is theirs?

Diplomatic relations between the UK and Greece seem to be on the mend this morning as Downing St takes delivery of an enormous wooden horse...
