Parthenon Sculptures should not be returned to Greece, says UK culture Secretary
By Katie RazzallThe Parthenon Sculptures "belong here in the UK" and should not be returned to Greece, the culture secretary has insisted.
Michelle Donelan told BBC Radio 4's The Media Show that permanently returning them was "not his intention". She said she'd had "several conversations" with Mr Osborne, the former chancellor. "I think his view on this has been misinterpreted and certainly portrayed wrongly," she said. But Kyriakos Mitsotakis, who is hoping to win a second term in office in July, said: "If the Greek people trust us again, I believe we could achieve this target after the elections."
A spokesperson said: "The government has always made clear that this is a matter for the British Museum but now that constructive talks between the British Museum and Greece have been confirmed, they seem to be changing their mind." In December, after the Harry & Meghan Netflix documentary aired, Clarkson wrote in the Sun newspaper about his "hatred" of Meghan, comparing her to serial killer Rose West.
