James Acaster does a great job highlighting the absurdity of the British refusing to repatriate stuff taken from the empire. [VIDEO]
If the Museum originally got it from someone who stole it from somewhere else, there's a reasonable argument to be made. James Acaster's comedy bit on the british museum comes to mind: [VIDEO]
There is a great comedy sketch from James Acaster that sums up the situation in- and the stance most other Western countries take on this, unfortunately: [VIDEO]
