I should hope that they're right. We should return what was stolen.
If we returned all the things we stole the British museum would be empty.
To be fair, I’m sure there’s some British things in the British museum, I assume those could be kept.
Last time I heard a deal talked about in serious terms (which was some years ago), I believe the plan was for a "permanent loan" to Greece in exchange for a rotating selection of loans in return. Greece has a pretty impressive collection of ancient artifacts, and it would give British museum-goers a chance to see them.
Yes. It would.
