    I’m happy to hear England’s argument is crumbling before their eyes. These statues belong in Greece.

      Even if they had permission from the Ottomans - it’s beyond meaningless.

      It’s like arguimg Britain had permission from France to take [random African artifact located im a French colony] and therefore any and all claims by the affected country are now void.

    How many fucking things has the British museum stolen? Every year I hear about something or another that they’ve stolen from other countries and refuse to return.
