Should England Return Valuable Treasures to Their Original Countries?

[John Wick]

Now that Elizabeth is gone, should England begin the process to repatriate the many valuables and antiquities taken during the British Empire's heyday during the Colonial period? Seems like some very valuable jewels and gemstones are on display now, and will be again as part of her funeral and King Dum-Dum's official coronation. Maybe the time has come to turn the wheel and move on to a new age...

Sure, good idea. But why stop at the British empire, there were many. Zulu Empire, Ife Empire, Sahelian kingdoms, Russian Empire, Spanish empire, Mongol empire, Umayyad Caliphate, Persian empire, Zhou dynasty….



In fact, we should all leave Canada and give it back to the Indigenous

Surely, they should.

How maddening is it, that the phenomenal Acropolis museum in Athens has copies of the Elgin marbles, while the originals are in British museum.
