Next week Sunak will be bowing to pressure from the ‘British people’ and handing them back…or maybe not.

Re: Rishi Sunak

Who cares about the marbles? Why is Starmers going on about it when it makes zero difference to anyone's life?

Populist politics. Anyway there belong to the Otterman empire and if philandering Elgin hadn't rescued them from various sites they would be crunched down building materials by now ..propping up the local Spar

Very few people care about the Parthenon sculptures - although more UK citizens think they should be returned than kept in the British Museum. But that opinion rarely rises to the level of 'care'.

What a lot of people care about is the ineptitude and misjudgements of the UK Prime Minister. This is just one more case study.

I was in the Parthenon Museum in Athens in September - a fantastic building and exhibition that deserves the original stones back to show visitors. The British Museum (that displays a small proportion of its collection - and loses or has stolen a fair number too) could display the plaster copies that Athens now has. The Greek public care about this (for symbolic reasons); the British and Irish public don't. Handing them back would have been a diplomatic coup - but its too late now. The damage is done.
