  1. They were very probably sold by unscrupulous natives, not looted, as were all similar items around the world. Someone got paid.

  2. If you go down the route of handing over privately owned items acquired centuries or decades ago, this is a dangerous path, as it can widen into absurdity and other things. Let's not set a precedent and let the museum keep them.

  3. Maybe we should ban people from using all the technology we invented or scientific laws Great Britain discovered. Then our morals too, where slavery still occurs, since we banned it first (arguably) anyway. Then there are policies like child labour being abolished and votes for women that we were among the first to adopt. Then there are all the tyrants and dictators we stood up to for hundreds of years, often on our own. The world would be a total mess without Great Britain.

  4. I noticed that all the foreigners and lefties alike always say "English", instead of British. The other three home nations are all as innocent/guilty as England. Ah, wait, it's the same OP who commented his anti English bile again on the same video. Go and read some history books, you loser and read my other comment to you. You should be kissing the British flag every day you use the World Wide Web, invented by Sir Tim Berners Lee (a British man) to insult a country that has pretty much built the modern world and that includes its civil rights.
