So they can sell them to Germany for debt repayment

Fuck off. We want them for that museum we had to build to be even considered "elligible" for the return. Also, Germany has a 400 BILLION debt to Greece for ww2 reparations. That debt was found legitimate by a commitee set up by the German parliament in 2019. So... why don't you go shave that little toothbrush mustache and take of that red armband with the swastiga?

Why don't you worry about Hellenes paying taxes before you suck the teat of Germany for your RePaRaTiOnS? Maybe next time don't let the Ottomans take your land. Also, we will be keeping "your" marbles.

Flawless logic here. Are you suggesting that the Nazis were ostensibly the only pro taxation government in history? Perhaps that it was, in fact, the best kept secret that the Greeks lost to the Nazi's to whom they then ceded their land? (I'd love to see that timeline) Best of all, it could be that the British looking after Greek culture is German nationalism all along? Take your remaining ten brain cells and do something productive.

What do you mean ‘back’? The marbles were taken from the Ottomans. When Greece declared independence from the Ottoman Empire, they didn’t have the marbles.

Those were legally purchased.

Elgin sold the Marbles to the British government, not Greece!

Greece can’t even feed its children, basically the whole Greek economy is:

Put out some white plastic patio furniture Ask Germany for breakfast Have a nap Have relations with the family donkey Beg Germany for a bigger overdraft Eat family donkey

Rinse and repeat.

Greece really have lost their marbles.

This post does not refer to the economy of Greece. Moreover, your attitude is so cynical that rivals that of Angela Merkel. I challenge / invite you to visit the Acropolis Museum in Athens to see for yourself the space that has been made for the return of the marbles.
