Oh, no, the rightful owners might want to keep their property after all, how dare they, the ingrates.

Interesting that the law that says the British Museum can't return artifacts to countries of origin passed in 1963, just when Commonwealth Members started seeking independence. A coincidence, I'm sure.

(very relevant skit by comedian James Acaster)

Let them finally be free and represent the freedom they were created for.
In the country that created them and fought this war for freedom for all those who came after.

@mirrorpolitics shame on us. #elginmarbles

On the subject of the #Gerrymander (PT), the article points out that Governor Gerry's name was pronounced with a hard "g."

This provides you with a crucial opportunity to distinguish yourself from the rabble when discussing early #American #history in the course of cocktail-party banter or other high intellectual discourse.

Bonus: same is true of #ElginMarbles

In a future lesson, we will take up:

The #BritishMuseum and Greece’s prime minister are getting closer to a deal on returning the so-called #ElginMarbles to Athens. But key differences remain.

January 15 is the anniversary of the opening of the British #Museum. Among its most famous and jealously guarded collections objects are of course the #Parthenon Sculptures (#ElginMarbles):

'We stole them, and we're keeping them,' says England's culture minister #MichelleDonelan of the #ParthenonSculptures.

I'm trying to understand the U.K. position on this one. Is it something like Vizzini's complaint in #PrincessBride: "You're trying to kidnap what I've rightfully stolen"?

Greece and the UK have opened talks over the future of the so-called #ElginMarbles (AKA #ParthenonSculptures) – what will happen next?

This story is great news - but I wish more newspapers would stop referring to them as the #elginmarbles.
Even the #BritishMuseum stopped using that term years ago.
They use the term "Sculptures of the Parthenon", but #parthenonmarbles is widely understood nowadays.
Move on.
