Back in the day when we acquired a lot of this stuff there was no such thing as mass tourism. Today countries want their stuff back so they can make money from visitors, not that I blame them.

One more point

Even Sunak backers fear the PM's made the 'wrong decision' picking a fight over the Elgin Marbles.

He is a plonker.

It's true, the way he talks about this country is quite something.

It's kind of ironic to me that leftists argue for equality and equity and all the rest of that b0lllocks yet will grasp at any advantages something like a birthright gives them.

Having different different opinions about what a government does is one thing...as we know I have those myself on things like covid and wars. But Steely clearly has a problem with this country far beyond politics. Considering the country gives him a free lunch that he wouldn't be getting elsewhere.....I don't know, I just don't understand....Maybe Steely was born here but not of here.

You have now moved on from lauding anti semitism to out and out racism, no one surprised.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

Yes, I don't usually respond to your posts but this one I did as there was no emoji.

There is a prevailing myth that Islamic immigrants are "swarming" in from various Muslim countries and making up the majority of the non-EU immigrant population. However, the vast majority who come and stay are from India - mainly non Muslim - then (some way down in number) Romania and China.

I think your theory that this is because those 3 people you name are of Indian origin is codswallop. However, I do question Braverman's attack on a Muslim swarm (or whatever she said) given the sizeable majority are from where she originates and who observe her religion. Are we seeing some sub continental internecine thing going on here?

'Rattled Rishi Sunak ridiculed as he accuses Greek PM of grandstanding over Elgin Marbles'.

It's the PM who has lost his marbles - Starmer.

A rude, self-entitled, unelected arrogant bore.
