Hey Brits: Just return what doesn’t belong to you!
I'd be surprised if this happened, due to the precedent it would set. Other nations would soon demand the return of their treasures - and I doubt the British want to start arguing with India about breaking up the crown jewels to return the Koh-i-Noor diamond or with the Syrians about returning sculptures from Sargon's palace.

Yes, and we would have to give back the key to the Bastille that Lafayette presented to George Washington, which still hangs in the hall at Mount Vernon.

Nevertheless there is a movement to return and restitute cultural patrimony to the regions that birthed it.
It’s only fair...in some cases more fair than in others I will concede
