I just want to point out the irony that the UK is being fussy about a piece of their history being moved out of their country.
They should be very familiar with how failed countries get sacked.
UK reminds me of the borderline personality book: I hate you, don’t leave me
Pretty much any nation state, afaict.
Seems like if the UK government doesn’t want them sold to a foreign party then the UK government should purchase them and keep them safe.
Yeah, that kind of seems like a dick move to whoever owns them. If something truly has that kind of value to a country, I really think that a country should be prepared to purchase it.
Besides, unless it’s in some kind of museum or something – which the government buying it could ensure – then it’s not as if anyone’s deriving a whole lot of benefit from it. Is there truly any benefit to the country at large if Artifact X is in a private collection…just a British collection?
