Britain's, and especially London's, museums express Britain's, and especially London's, global role and character.
In whatever context it might be uttered, "They should be sent back to where they came from" is not a sentiment in keeping with that role or character.
The Elgin Marbles express nothing except theft.

That's just not London, just not Britain. Where would it end?
