Rishi Sunak - The Statesman

[SmallTown]

Why are we so obsessed with preserving our imperial theft?

I honestly wonder why the world is so obsessed with it. I've been to museums all over the world and they all, apart from the museum of broken hearts in Zagreb, have artefacts from all over the world. I don't get why other empirical powers get a free pass and we don't

Whenever I see him, I immediately think of Norman Wisdom.

I can imagine them in a boxing match scene with great big shorts on.

Zagreb is the only city I've had drinks bought for me because I was British. That was in 1978 and I'm still not sure why.

I've no idea how or why, but I bet it was something to do with Scotland's 1978 kit being very similar to Yugoslavia's kit.

I thought we'd purchased the Elgin Marbles from Greece, not stole them

I 'm not sure why we'd want to keep them and not give them back. They're not part of our history. But we're British and generally *****, so we'll have them
