Hand back the Elgin marbles to Greece

Petition Details

The time has come to return these historic monuments to the Acropolis from where they were stolen. There is no logical reason for them to remain in the UK.

Additional Information

The marbles were taken to protect them from the Turks and now they need to be returned to their rightful place. The Greeks have built a museum to house them.
This is the correct course of action.
