British Museum

So the British Museum has been caught lacking in security

many artefacts have gone missing over many years

it was first said to be the curator as certain items were ending up on EBay

they were told about this by an expert who they are now trying to blame rather than who really did it

so what happened to the security was it down to people being too friendly and not doing the proper checks or something else like cost cutting and cheap security

now certain countries want their artefacts back so should they be sent back or what should be done overall

Whoa, stay on point !

I'm sure the thieves had no intention of returning the artifacts.

Anyway I'd have no issue with sending the artifacts back and replacing them with UK artifacts but then the same crowd would whinge about lack of diversity.

Other solutions include 3D printing and I have heard it suggested in a committe by an African member of the family that Westerners have mishandled sacred African artifacts (loosing their spiritual value) and thus should be kept- people pay to look at the display and it goes to a black charity.
