Should the Elgin Marbles be moved back to Greece?
The other week it was revealed most of you thought the Elgin/Parthenon marbles were shiny round things fought over by 1950s schoolboys, but they're actually incredible carvings taken from the Parthenon in Greece by the 'good old' British Empire.
They're bloody great in the British Museum, you should go see them, but the Greeks are saying, fairly reasonably, that they wouldn't mind them back, and even have a shiny museum waiting for them. Now Stephen Fry has stuck his oar in and said they should go back. I don't know about you, but I tend to disagree, just because he sometimes annoys me.
