'Scum' is positively gentrified compared with '[Poor language removed]-hole'.

Because you can't, as I already knew. Handing power to that man with everything we already knew was suicidal for this country. It wasn't just him either, his whole cabinet was completely unfit for purpose.
The man has been proven right countless times … the Tories have even stollen some of his ideas which they ridiculed at the time of him voicing them.

when the bar is set at cameron, truss, johnson etc it would be hard not to look good
It would have been extremely hard to be worse than Johnson, Truss or Sunak, almost impossible
….my understanding of the ‘Elgin Marbles’ is that they’re parts of a bigger Parthenon held in Greece. The Greeks have the jig saw with pieces missing. I’d have thought it’s in everybody’s cultural interest for pieces of history to sit where they have the greatest reward for the people of the world.
A bit petulant of Sunak to pull the plug on a meeting with the PM of an ally with so much going on in the continent. Sunak’s action might prove popular with his right wing but Insulting the PM of Greece is an insult to the people of Greece.

He would have "Got all the big calls right", which seems to be your benchmark.

Sunak is small in stature and it seems small in mind too. Refusing to meet is both an insult and a childish temper tantrum to boot.
Stop trying to be a tough guy Sunak (you aren't and never will be) and start acting a PM and statesman.
Starting to look like he has a bit of a Napoleon complex him.

Technically, they were bought by some fella called Elgin, from the Ottaman empire.
According to info in the modern Acropolis museum (so accept some potential for bias), the story goes that Elgin bribed the local governor of Athens (Greece was part of the Ottoman Empire so ruled from Constantinople) for permission to remove unspecified materials from the Acropolis Hill (bits were falling off the ruins and so the floor of the area was covered in bits of marble). Once permission was obtained for general removal he then forcibly removed the sculptures from the Parthenon (destructively, hacking the sculptures off the stone) and had them packed up to be shipped back to his Scottish mansion.
So it's not even as simple as "Elgin bought them legally from Greece's Occupiers at the time", if you believe the Greeks.

He was probably told not to meet him he is the weakest link and the Fascist part of the Tories have turned the screw again. What a party, what a laugh.
