Quote:
A diplomatic row has broken out between the British and Greek governments over the Parthenon Sculptures, also known as the Elgin Marbles.
The Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis was due to meet Rishi Sunak in London, but No 10 cancelled the meeting at the last minute.
He told reporters he was "deeply disappointed by the abrupt cancellation" of the meeting.
Mr Mitsotakis rejected an alternative meeting with the deputy prime minister.
The cancellation came a day after Mr Mitsotakis told the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg that the marbles should be returned, as having some of the artefacts in London and the rest in Athens was like cutting the Mona Lisa in half.

I don't understand why Sunak pulls these stunts when his original pitch was that he was the grown-up who would make 'long-term decisions'.
It comes across as childish and petty. We all know the Greeks want the Elgin Marbles back so to cancel a meeting because they expressed the same position they've expressed many times before is just idiotic.
He clearly is doing it to provoke a positive reaction from voters that he is sticking up for the country but who really cares about this? It just looks weird.

Re: The Chronicles of Rishi
Only my opinion mind but its awful statesmanship by Sunak.

Re: The Chronicles of Rishi
I know you could argue that it's the thin end of the wedge, but he could have really made a name for himself.
I don't think anybody really cares if we gave them back to Greece, it would be a fantastic gesture, could help build relations and trade.
Downside may be that an orderly queue forms from other people wanting their stuff back, but so be it.

Re: The Chronicles of Rishi
Sunak is a fool. As others have said or implied, the scultures would be better placed at the Parthenon.
Sunak has now made an enemy of a PM in the EU. Idiot.
