British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak had been due to hold talks with his Greek counterpart Kyriakos Mitsotakis at 10 Downing Street, at the culmination of a three-day visit to the British capital.

Mr Mitsotakis cut short his trip and headed back to Greece, voicing his "displeasure" after the meeting was shelved at the last minute.

An issue for the British government was the Greek leader's comments in a BBC interview on Sunday about ownership of the 2,500-year-old Parthenon Marbles, also known as the Elgin Marbles.

The Greek government maintains the marbles, which are a major draw for visitors at the London museum, were stolen, while the UK claims they were obtained legally.

Imagine ripping apart one of the most unique and extraordinary monuments of the world without legal permission and have the audacity to claim it your own. The Parthenon marbles (as they should be known) belong to the Parthenon and the Acropolis museum. It’s getting ridiculous! 
Our Prime minister was right, imagine cutting Mona Lisa in two and have each piece in different museums, that would be a scandal!

Also, the Acropolis Museum is one of the best museums in the world and by fact has some of the best art conservators. Just saying…

When we're not together tell me everything's gonna be alright

Does anyone believe the British as they have stolen from so many countries 

Are you telling me they didn't found those Egyptian mummies and statues of Hindu gods on a farm in Kent? :billie:
