And now, a word from our Lost Marbles specialist.

[Tubby Isaacs]

It would seem to be more of a Greek culture thing that "our national culture". Surprised she didn't say "Christian".

I sense some rope a dope here. The Right will lose their mind over this and look ridiculous.

[Youngian]

Is Truss known to have any cultural hinterlands? The Tories are a long way from Ken Clarke dissecting bebop jazz on his radio show.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Or Portillo on trains, or indeed Mellor on football.

[Rosvanian]

If I asked around in the pub tonight here in Gateshead, I wonder how many people would actually give a shit about the fecking Elgin marbles?

[Tubby Isaacs]

"Culture war" arguments fall flat if people don't feel like they're losing anything or being personally attacked.

The Elgin marbles seem like very unpromising territory. Quite possibly the people who know most about them are the most relaxed about them returning to Greece. Who's going to agree with Truss? The Spectator and a few people who like seeing the marbles in London?

[Andy McDandy]

Should the Elgin Marbles be returned to Greece? Plain and sensible question.

Some hairy Greek people want to tell us what to do. You happy with that? Now that gets the gut response they want.

Yet the first hint of them being returned and it will be "Starmer hates Britain."

The Telegraph have been beating this drum for almost four decades.
Lord Elgin's personal property, who do these uppity bubbles think they are.

The same telegraph that was crusading on "Free Rudolph Hess" when the kool kids were campaiging to Free Mandela.

The same Telegraph that now publishes fake "Won't somebody think of the struggling Bankers" copy.
(Struggling Farmers, and Formula 1 bosses are also available).
