Corbyn's Lost His Marbles

Well, actually , this duplicitous man, who will say and do anything for votes, hop on any band wagon for publicity, and thinks nothing of duping the populous, now promises to return the Elgin Marbles to Greece if he is elected to No 10.

It's a puzzling angle to push really and unlikely to sway British voters in his favour. More likely it's going to add another nail to his coffin as people see yet another lame attempt to sway hearts and minds on a matter that really isn't going to affect the daily lives of people.

This article by Daniel Hannan describes eloquently what is going on here and how old Commie Corbyn is forever against Britain. It's time we all realised it.

https://www.conservativehome.com/the...the-wrong.html

"perhaps it adds something to the public’s perception of the Labour leader, confirming a view that has been building since last year’s election, namely that he will always and everywhere back another country against his own."

"This peculiar national masochism has led him to support some truly nasty causes over the years: Hamas, Hezbollah, the Soviet Union, the IRA. Today it makes him side, in effect if not in intent, with Vladimir Putin and Bashar al-Assad – two quasi-fascists. He couldn’t even bring himself to back Britain in a defensive war against General Galtieri, whose military junta had murdered dozens of trade unionists and Left-wing agitators."


Jezbollah Corbyn . . . . simply unelectable

Re: Corbyn's Lost His Marbles

I have not much time for Corbyn, however, the Elgin Marbles should be returned to their country of origin as they were stolen goods.

Yes, Compo should sort out his own marbles before the Elgin ones.


They really are a bunch of Loonies

Re: Corbyn's Lost His Marbles

I'm waiting for a Realist thread telling us how good Theresa May and her cohorts are, or has he got a man crush on the grey wizened Lab leader ?
Definitely obsessive, could be an illness.

Re: Corbyn's Lost His Marbles

Hi

A personal view.

Corbyn wants us out of the EU and the Single Market.

There is only one reason for this, he wants to create a Marxist State here in the UK.

That would be a disaster for us.

I believe they were paid for.

Ah, I see you didn't bother to read the article then. A shame.

"Lord Elgin sought and obtained permission from the Ottoman authorities to remove the carvings, and later sold them to the British Government, which placed them in the British Museum where they have been drawing huge and appreciative crowds ever since. Property rights do not lapse simply because an artefact is considered culturally significant. Nor should private ownership be trumped by vague collective claims. That principle is one of the foundations of an open society."


To be clear, in 1801 Thomas Bruce, 7th Earl of Elgin obtained an official decree of a firman from the central government of the Ottoman Empire which were then the rulers of Greece. Elgin was also later approved by a second firman which allowed for the shipping of the marbles from Piraeus.

A "Firman" btw is a royal mandate or decree issued by a sovereign in an Islamic state, in this case the Ottoman Empire.

In short then the Elgin Marbles were legally and wilfully sold/passed to Thomas Bruce with permission to remove them from Greece. He then legally sold them to Britain where they have been since.

Greece have no right of ownership and to believe they do would be to also believe that anyone who had paid £millions for an original painting by Leonardo Da Vinci would have to give it back to Italy purely because Leonardo was Italian, painted in Italy nand so on. The concept is a total nonsense.

That the Elgin Marbles cosmetically belong to the other sculptures and relics associated with the Parthenon is not in
question AFAIK. As the article suggests there is a very good case for re-siting the sculptures with the other Parthenon works, but that would have nothing to do with change of ownership.

All of this is just more Commie Corbyn duplicity, looking for band wagons to jump on to appease and lure in voters from different sectors. Lame in the extreme.
