Unsure who would be surprised or scandalised by this report: British Museum is world’s largest receiver of stolen property, leading human rights lawyer claims

Almost everything in the place which isn’t from the Island of Britain has been variously stolen, thieved, expropriated, plundered and pilfered from everyone else in the world. Even in this article, some worthy from the Museum trots out the basic lie that the Elgin Marbles were “acquired legally”, and cites the ludicrous 1816 inquiry as justification.

I tried visiting it once and was literally nauseated by the implicit Great White Saviour narrative the place emits. Kudos to Robertson for speaking truth to power. Now to get the thieving bastards to give it all back.
