The fact the UK is doing the right thing actually makes me happy.

    Why did the government put a law into place to stop museums giving stuff back? No one was asking for it.

    Because old people don’t want to have to travel past the M25 to see history stuff.

    It’s always the old people. Always.

      They are pretty screwed then.

      As much of the stuff is in pit rivers Oxford. IE outside the m25.

      And that is likely the why. Much of the stuff was taken by guys like pitt rivers. Who built a lot of family wealth on the campaigns. And the government is still protecting those interests.
