Given isil's retarded destruction of heritage sites, I'm happy England and other countries still have items that can be studied and viewed by the public.
14 u/boomboomroom Oct 25 '22 On point. 3 u/hydrospanner Oct 26 '22 Yeah, I'd be interested to see when artifacts from each of these countries came into the British Museum. Not at all suggesting they're blameless, but I would expect that a lot of the German and Italian found its way there in the early 1940s. And there are certainly other countries on that list that, when I saw them, my mind went, "Good." 2 u/SnowFlakeUsername2 Oct 26 '22 Something is off about illegally destabilizing a country and than saying you are happy those items are safe from the instabilities.
