    I think it’s hilarious that the British want to loan the Greeks their own historical monuments. They want equivalent collateral. The Greek should just confiscate the next British ship in port and put it in a museum. Maybe make a museum of confiscated British ships.

    I think it would be fair for many countries to send special ops to recover their cultural patrimony from british museums.

      Would make a good movie too, with a giant Spiderman points at Spiderman scene where a bunch of dudes from different nations with a tenuous grasp about what exactly they are supposed to recover have a hushed standoff to figure it out before security shows up

          Just had this mental image of a combat swimmer that crawled out of the sewer arguing with Rambo who got through the ventilation if that statue is southern or northern Macedonian style and what period.
