He cannot be Serious! Elgin Marbles.

OMG, Barnier is putting in a clause to the Trade agreement that the Elgin Marbles must be returned to Greece!! Methinks Barmey has lost his own marbles with this one. Either that or the EU do in fact have a sense of humour.

Hey Barmy! Are there any other clauses you might like to add that are so paramount to the forthcoming Trade talks?
You have obviously asked all 27 prisoner member states for their wish-list in your sheer desperation. Spain - Gibraltar? Argentina - Falklands? Perhaps you may even stoop to ask us to dig up our glorious brave War Dead and return them back home???

We will have to start coming up with some of our own.

France - we still owe you one for Harold’s eye.in 1066.
Europe - you can start repaying us for all the armament of WW11.
France - OK, You could demand the return of your captured Standards from the Napoleonic Wars. In return- we will demand the £3.6tn you owe us from WW11.
Germany - return all the stolen loot from WW11.
European Museums - Return all of your treasures to their countries.
France - we want all of our arrows back from the Battles of Agincourt and Crecy.
France - we want all of the lands in France back that our kings ruled over in medieval times.
Germany - you still haven’t paid for bombing comedian Stan Boardman’s local chippie yet!
Germany - time to return the bust of Nefertiti back to Egypt.
France - time to return the Obelisk back to Egypt.
France - the Mona Lisa was painted by De Vinci - an Italian - give it back!!

That’s just the start of our demands.

You can however, in the spirit of goodwill, have Corbyn and the Labour Party.

On the Elgin Marbles .

Good points. The only thing that makes more more crazy is how everyone must be apologists for things that happened when everyone involved has been dead for generations.

Oh this ^^^^

It almost makes me feel like putting a few hail Marys and apologies in my will to read out at my funeral to save some poor guy apologising on my behalf for something I wrote on here in about 100 years time

Germany - Hey Switzerland, can we have all our Nazi gold back now please because the war is over and everyone has forgotten about it.

Re: He cannot be Serious! Elgin Marbles.

Hi

That is the stupidity of the thing.

Greece can block any deal if they do not get the Elgin Marbles back.

Spain can block any deal if they do not get Gibraltar back.

France can block any deal if they are no longer able to fish in our waters.

If they do, we can impose a 500% surcharge on any holidays to Greece or Spain.

That will shut them up.

The problem we have is with France.

They can move the Border back to the UK, shut down Airbus and Vauxhall here in the UK.

Here in Shropshire, they own our waste collection and disposal.

We have stupidly allowed ourselves to be dependant on them.

Not if the EU take the same position as they did with Singapore. Where the EU pushed the 28 aside and signed the treaty anyway. How dare Wollonia veto such a trade deal
