British PM rules out return of Parthenon Marbles to Greece
- The marbles were stripped from Athens’ Parthenon Temple on the Acropolis by Scottish nobleman Thomas Bruce, known as Lord Elgin, in the early 1800s and shipped to Britain
- Johnson’s position on the issue was made clear several years ago when, as Mayor of London, he hit back at Hollywood star George Clooney for suggesting Britain return the marbles
