Definitely not safe to return such precious artifacts to the host country. The UK isn’t as stable as it used to be.
Jokes aside, if tourism is meant to be a crucial part of our modern economy, why push against moving historical artifacts which attract tourism away from Wales? It might be more convenient to experience Welsh history in London for a tourist, but that doesn’t help Welsh tourism.
I’m glad the article mentions the Clive collection. It would be hypocritical to request the return of Welsh artefacts without also addressing foreign artefacts in Wales, such as [Tipu Sultan’s tent](https://www.nationaltrustcollections.org.uk/object/1180731.1).
It’s not Wales, it’s some people in Wales.
Just because England doesn’t have any ancient history due to the constant invasions from the Saxons doesn’t give them the right to steal ours 😆
On the plus side, their destroyed ancient history inspired Tolkien to make Lord Of The Rings
Georgiana needs to study the correct use of the word ‘namesake’.

Give it back to who? Wales is part of Britain.
