So, a modicum of looking into the background of this renders the following:
- These statues were removed from Greece by Lord Elgin in the early 1800s, while Greece was under Ottoman occupation
- The legality and legitimacy of these removals is, at the very least, questionable
- No watertight evidence exists to corroborate the claim of Lord Elgin that he had official permission
- Greece has been repeatedly requesting a return of these statues since 1835
- In 2021 UNESCO concluded that the UK government had an obligation to return these statues
- Negotiations between Greece and the UK are ongoing
Sorry, the only person who has squandered anything here is Rishi Sunak.

So this is your first time looking into this topic, and yet you feel confident to give out a strong opinion and feel smug about it?
Guess what you didn’t do and modicum or research into? All the other more important topics.
