Greek millions financing a state-driven disinformation campaign to get the #ElginMarbles away from @britishmuseum . It won't succeed, not on my watch. History must be respected: all of it, not just the parts we like.

I had enormous fun talking with the amazing Katie Brewer for @podcastbwc. We covered a lot of ground! Writing fiction and non-fiction, criminal law, murder trials, the Templars, Thomas Cromwell, the SS, British creativity, being bored and tuning out at school, rock guitar, the humanities, the Army, museums and who owns the past. Katie made this a really fun discussion!
New episode out today with historian, former criminal barrister, British Army officer and bestselling author @DominicSelwood to explore little-known chapters of history and the power of storytelling. Listen here: linktr.ee/dominicselwood

"If Britain were to become an Islamic theocracy and the physical survival of the [Elgin Marbles] was endangered in a cultural context that doesn’t value them anymore, then yes, I would be the first one to propose their relocation."
Me on @tovimagr, asked if I could envisage any scenario that would allow the Marbles to permanently leave London. Read the rest here:

How very fitting that the new arts minister, who seems to be open to a "partnership" to rob the British Museum of its #ElginMarbles, is the Baroness of.... Sherwood!
