        @fuzzle7777 @BBCBreaking why handing Hellenic marbles back ; Your ancestors stole these marbles I would be ashamed of this in your shoes

        @cdiamos @BBCBreaking Elgin saved them from destruction. They are LEGALLY ours and they have the widest audience here in London.

        @NioveIArmitage @cdiamos @BBCBreaking Preventing their wilful destruction by the Greek authorities is pretty moral and ethical, in my view
