"Turkey is the country that would have the archived document pertaining to things that were sold legally at that time. Historians have for years searched the Ottoman archives and have not been able to find a ‘firman’ proving that the sale was legal, as it is being claimed,”

#AnyAnswers is now debating what is the definition of a Safe Country for the return of antiquities?

I'm confused... So #Greece is NOT a Safe Country for the purposes of deporting marble statues but #Rwanda is a Safe Country for the deportation of actual living human beings?

The fate of the Elgin Marbles/Parthenon Sculptures had been pretty much settled - a fudge had pretty much been agreed that the British Museum would send the #ElginMarbles back to Greece on permanent 'loan'.

So why are #BBCaq and #AnyAnswers arguing about where the #ParthenonSculptures belong - England or Greece?

The topical question is what the feck was our PM Sunak doing snubbing our ally Greece's PM over their return?

Overt #BBCbias is to be deplored but beware INSIDIOUS BBC Bias as well.

Parliament is going to bed early every sitting-day lately as our Zombie Government has run out of reasonable things to pass laws about, so believe Rishi Sunak when he says he can legislate quickly to declare Rwanda a Safe Country (and incidentally, that Bears Do NOT Shit In The Woods, and the Pope Is NOT Catholic).

So why the feck can Wishi Sunak not quickly legislate to authorise return of the Elgin Marbles to their origin in Greece?

The price for keeping #Greece on side during WW2, another broken promise by the government in England?
