@ClarksonsFarm1 I wonder how many of the responders getting outraged by this will be happily chomping away on halal at their local curry house this weekend without a care in the world.
@hor22189@davidvance How do people get to be so ill informed? You don't need a LICENCE unless you watch live broadcast TV. Since when is the BBC an emergency service?
@pagestop@theAliceRoberts The Greeks were not the custodians of the marbles when acquired by Elgin. Now they are and that makes all the difference. Btw they were damaged in the 30s when the BM 'restored' them with wire brushes and chisels!
@theAliceRoberts Too much ink has been spilt raking over the rights and wrongs of the marbles' acquisition. The overriding consideration should be how to present these works of art to their best advantage, ie. as close as possible to their original context - the purpose built museum in Athens.
