Of course not. People can’t be trusted to take care of their own historical artifacts. Britain will take better care of them. If they want to see it, they can just pay to fly across the world to see them. It’s surely better this way.

It’s not currently up to the British Museum; it’s up to Parliament. Repatriating artifacts is currently illegal under UK law.

We can’t do it because it’s against the law that we made that says it’s illegal.

I am shocked! Shocked! Well, not that shocked.

Sure, but I don’t see any of the leadership at the museum advocating against that law.
