Will the UK and France disgorge their looted foreign antiquities to restore the cultural DNA of the countries they were stolen from?

[Savage Beast]

The first time I visited the Parthenon in Athens, the guide complained bitterly that the Elgin Marbles should never have been taken from Greece and should be returned.

I said that I wish the Brits or the French had gotten the Victory of Samothrace and the Venus de Milo before they got damaged and that I was glad that they had them.

Now however, as France and the UK sink deeper and deeper into the quicksand of decadence, the priceless antiquities may well be safer back in Greece.
