What an utterly ridiculous situation to get themselves into, and shows to whole world what a bunch of clowns they are in 10 Downing St.  ::)

How the hell have they let this escalate?  ::)  All they had to say to the Greeks is, You can ask but the answer will be no...

Incidentally, a museum in Germany handed over some Benin Bronzes worth millions to Nigeria recently and they were promptly sold off to private collectors!  ;D

Bet that Nigerian prince was chuffed to bits to get his sacred icons back so he could flog 'em on. Made a change from romancing desperate old ladies from Wolverhampton out of their children's inheritance.  ;D

Just the queueing to get in is a pain in the arse, used to go there a lot when I was a kid & walk straight in , took out two youngest grandchildren there a couple of years ago never again.

I wonder what the marbles are worth?  ???  :-\

Priceless?  ???   If so, we should offer to flog them to the Greeks at a knock down price of £3 trillion and clear the national debt!  :y

Well it depends how much they want them eh?  ???   ;)

Maybe when they get their WW2 reparations from Germany they'll be able to buy them?  :-\ 

Or maybe their benevolent masters in Brussels will stump up?  :)
