Maybe they should loan some Saxon artefacts to their museum?
At the very least they should ask the Nigerian government if they want them back.
They created a time machine?
Whatever happened to the legal precedent: finders keepers, losers weepers?
(Outlaws joke for those of you who don’t get it – hilarious programme)
Can’t see why anyone would be against this move, other than bragging rights.
I’m much too lazy to read deeply into this so forgive my ignorance, but, was the items really looted? Or was they purchased/acquired legally?
The reason I ask is because there’s a big difference between those two things. When it comes to artefacts from around the world which end up in a British museum, lefties just tend to throw the word “looted” around willy-nilly to describe said artefacts, regardless of whether those artefacts were actually looted or were purchased/acquired via a legit and legally sound process.
Sounds like it was taken fair and square. We had the better army.
By this logic every single conquest in history, romans, vikings, Mongols would all require repatriation. I wouldn’t expect the Swedish to return some Anglo Saxon cross they stole in a Viking raid.
