The humour would not have escaped you if served in the other direction. Somehow I guess the consortium isn't something you'll bother with either ????

Humour requires you to be funny. You’ll get there one day...

Cause he can’t. They are only good at slogans! 

The four B's went out of the window some time ago, along with the peddlers that were doing it.

I'm done with this thread as its another that is going nowhere

Did the UK come to a legal agreement with the Ottoman Empire to acquire those marbles ?

For safe-keeping. When the Greeks get 'em back the German banks will bail them in.

Why has it become fashionable to bang on about anything bad Britain did during the colonial period? It comes from either self loathing Brits, or hypocritical French etc. I mean, there have been so many empires over the past couple of thousand years, the Vikings, the Romans, the Ottomans, the French, not to mention the Germans trying a couple of times for global domination. 

But it's always the Brits taking a bashing. Selective memories I think. 

 

 

How about the Taliban and the artifacts they destroyed in Afghanistan, the giant hillside buddhas that had marked the silk road for centuries.

Boris is into all this ancient stuff, adds an angle to it.

I see lots of antiquities have been returned to Cambodian, also a lot taken from Iraq & Syria. I was in Syria before this war, they'd done a great job of preserving a lot of that stuff.

Being disingenuous around the word "taken" is a poor weapon to beat the BM.
