In the Daily Telegraph poll about the Parthenon Marbles, attached to a pretty nauseating piece by Dominic Selwood (who cannot even bring himself to name them nicely), the British Retentionists have a lot of support. Add your voice please.... Vignette: A greasy-haired UK metal detectorist who can't even spell Parthenon, but wants to keep the Marbles in London...
UPDATE 17th May 2015
The British heritage snatchers are losing ground in the poll, when I voted only "18% agreed" with me (no, give them back) - now it is 44%, can we at least tip it over the 51% mark before the Telegraph closes the poll?

hi paul,what a horrible,biased article,expected nothing less from a rag like the telegraph.
kyri.
To be honest, I could not believe it, it looks like something the dealers' lobbyist Peter Tompa or Ms FitzGibbon could have written.
My God, just LOOK at those nasty misogynous and xenophobic comments under the article ! What on earth is happening over there? Appalling. Bloody Britain cannot even look after its own heritage, falling down, bulldozed or dug up and put in a metal detectorist's pocket, but the "arguments" (I use the term loosely) offered by Telegraph readers for keeping somebody else's in their country are just appalling. No wonder there is no heritage debate to talk of if this is anything to go by. Shocking.
