Remember that countries are just random lines drawn on a map, so they belong in a museum here as much as anywhere else.

People spilt blood and gave their lives for that bit of brass.
I bet it was a White lefty who attended a university that gave it away. And they did it to say, "look at me, I'm not racist, please like me" |

Oliver if my grandad stole your car and left it to me in his will, and then I loaned it to my mate and he figured out it was stolen and gave it back to you, should I be compensated?

If British museums/universities want to continue to display these pieces they should give ownership back to their rightful owners, and then ask to either buy or borrow them for display.

I have no more right to my grandad's car than you do, unless he gives or "sells" it to me

Honestly I think if someone is stupid enough to not properly secure their car, then yeah take it and give it a re-spray and new plates

As for the part of the article I quoted, the person it was taken from is probably long dead, so it may as well belong to the grandson of the person who won it |

Good, all artefacts that we took through conquest should be handed back to their original countries. Let these countries decide when and how they want to share their history with the world.
As always, the point is lost on you. |

Just.... Imagine having to bend over backwards and pretend you support theft just because you don't want to see an artefact that was stolen from Nigeria returned....

Prof George Boyne, principal and vice-chancellor of the university, said the decision was in line with Aberdeen’s “values as an international, inclusive university”, adding that keeping the bust would have been wrong because it was “acquired in such reprehensible circumstances”.

...yeah, like a rental, type thing...we obviously now have ensured great facilities to preserve and display in terms of security etc...so paying a sum each year to the nations that artefacts were taken from would seem like the thing...it’s one of the reasons as well why it’s so wrong and infuriating when aid to countries is reduced when so many countries riches were taken to enable to be in that position to be able to give and help...

You take individualism/libetrarianism too far to the point where it warps, and what you think sounds like logic... is not. I think you might be confusing the Locke's Theory of Property / the concept of "Spoils of War" with pillaging... which is a war crime. Quote:
Items forcibly taken from private residences or other properties such as museums are NOT spoils of war. It is pillaging. They are stolen. It's against international law. Last edited by Toy Soldier; 01-04-2021 at 08:19 AM. |

Not the point of the thread, but this stood out to me. My father in law has had a fair few cars nicked, or broken into. Hell, he even managed to get one nicked from a 'secure' parking facility, with a ****load of cameras in it. Another, was from his own garage..and he had cctv by that stage due to the amount of things being nicked, and the police didnt even bother bloody looking at it it seems. That one, he was actually using a wheel lock too, which they managed to get off. There is also a crapload of cctv cameras all around his area (lives in a very populated city) and funnily enough, it was claimed that every one of the cameras was fancing the other direction. In other words, police don't want anything to do with anything that wont let them hit their fine targets..to me tbh
