I don't think there's much doubt that although they were stolen/looted, if they had been left there they would not be so well preserved as they are now.
However, the world has changed and I think it's time to give them back |

 I can't see a justification in us keeping them. |

Maybe we should start giving back Spanish and French gold too then?? What about the minerals we took from the Americas or India???
The spoils of war were one of the reasons wars were previously fought. Indeed looking at oilfields etc now you can argue we still fight for them.. |

"The English have always been thiefs"
I don't think it was just an English problem, they were different times. The real question for me is how we choose to act today. |
