Royal sources say the tie was a coincidence and not linked to Rishi Sunak's spat with the Greek PM.

      Giving things back is not pro-colonial. Did we even have any claim on Greece as a colony?

        There was more than one empire when the British empire was at its height. Greece was under the control of the Ottoman empire. The purchase of the marbles was an agreement with them rather than the Greeks themselves.

            I was answering your question about whether Britain had claimed Greece as a colony. Colonialism isn’t just about the British empire.

              And again - price of fish. The topic at hand has nothing to do with colonialism.

                  Anti-royal pro-colonial is a angle we don’t often see

                  Look at the comment above and stick to the context

                  Britain had claimed Greece as a colony

                  andthenthreemore see anyone can do that

                    Except I took your whole question to give you context to my answer, rather than taking an extra from a sentence which flipped the meaning.

                    You can’t complain about my comment having nothing to do with the price of fish when I was just giving you an answer to your question.
