The
Treasures of the World from the British Museum National Museum Europe , Middle
East , Africa and even South East Asia . The many attractions include
mummies from Egypt
The
collection must be worth a fortune today. The British are great collectors and
must have paid handsomely for them I am sure. Some may question if they are the
loots of the British
Empire ,
taken from the colonies when Great Britain British Museum
The fact
that the British Museum are exhibiting them openly means that these objects
must not be loots but acquired legally or bought legally. The British Museum Singapore Asian Civilisation Museum India
When would
all the loots be returned by the thieves of the past, by the ex colonialists?

U got evidence to say or hint that some of those treasures were looted?
Luckily it is the British Museum and not the PAP.
Unless u have the evidence, be careful of using the word loot or corrupt on individuals or even entities.
complaints, complaints.
did the british setting up an employee's provident fund like in malaysia?
Redbean will always look at things from the negative side. I have this feeling that RB is a very insecure person. He never sees thing in a positive light, always negative. Something in his past must have damaged his self esteem , so he is always trying to find faults with everything and everyone. Cheer up RB, there are good thing in this world too, not always bad. Sometimes the cup is half full, not always half empty. Insecurity in you shows with every post of yours.

Not really. RB is not a young man but in his 60s, u know. As one grows older, one will be wiser, and hopefully also feel more secure.
Problem with RB is that he goes for quantity in his blog posts. Almost one everyday.
And quality inevitably suffers when u go for quantity with the same process, just like the huge quantity of foreign talents taken in by the PAP.
You silly cunts can't even read and just paid to attack RB.
Read what RB wrote. 'The fact that the British Museum are exhibiting them openly means that these objects must not be loots but acquired legally or bought legally. The British Museum would not be so arrogant nor have the audacity to exhibit them if they were not acquired through proper means.'
Simple minded, low education, good enough to be paid to attack people in blogs. A head that is empty and full of shit.
@ RB:
>> When would all the loots be returned by the thieves of the past, by the ex colonialists? <<
Hopefully never, because the original "owners" (if it can be proved that they themselves did not loot the articles in question) are long gone. Some of those cuntrees don't even exist any more.
If your weak cuntree/ nation/ culture has been OCCUPIED by conquest and/ or colonization, the occupiers can, (and will) help themselves to anything they deem of "value" as spoils of war. Perfectly OK.
British people are hypocrite
They feel disgust with British empire atrocities
at the same time, they dont think that British should return those looted relic back to their original owner.
When chinese ask for those item back,
British raise the issue - give tibet back to dalai lama.
Since when British people had any links to tibet?
how can those cultural relic , national treasure item been bought ,sold " legally"?
The foreign trader bought those looted goods from thief.,smuggler
unless they can provide evidence that they bought those item from legitimate govt and with their consent.
I would ready to acknowledge that those goods are bought legally by British.
They are basically whitewashing their war crime by saying those looted goods are bought from Chinese people, Chinese trader
Those looted goods are not " Looted" anymore if they bought from chinese people?
British people are hypocrite.
Had you follow the Recent court case , Batangakali in UK?
Judge was making their decision based on " political consideration"
it would open floodgates of other cases if the case been accepted.
Since when judge must consider their decision on behalf of their govt?
It prove that there are no independent judiciary or separation of power.
How can a judge strike out your case simply because the verdict might affect the outcome of other cases?
what happen to value of justice?
British people are hypocrite.
What is point of saying that court acknowledge that this is a war crime and British govt was responsible for it,
but the court refuse to allow victim to ask for re investigation for the case?
the court refuse allow victim to seek proper justice for the case
Their mere acknowledgement acts as " small gift " to family of those victim
In their mind, family of those victim should have feel grateful for such "benevolence decision made by UK court".
Obviously, they had ignore the real request made by family of those victim.
Worst of all, they had gut to say that those officer who involved in the killing, or investigation had passed away.
British had prevent them to seek justice long time ago.
Now, they had gut to made such stupid explanation.

Total RUBBISH. Not even worth me commenting on your tripe.
You British or anglophile or fake angmoh?
In the papers today, the Colombian govt announced the discovery of wreck of San Jose, a Spanish galleon loaded with loot from their South American colonies worth US$2 billion. The ship was sunk by the British who were after the cargo of gold, silver and precious stones.
Who has the right to the loot? Spain or Colombia?
@ RB:
>> Who has the right to the loot? Spain or Colombia? <<
It's not a matter of "rights". It's a matter of state sovereignty and existing LAW (not past law).
If the wreck was discovered in Columbian territory, not privately owned, then the Columbian state can decide whatever it likes.
The Spaniards looted the South Americans, then the Brits attempted to loot the Spaniards...everyone is a "thief" ! So WTF? Columbia may as well enact a "finder's keeper's" law...make it up as required.
I have no issue with nations conquering and pillaging each other. Imagine how boring history would be if every human acted "morally".
Morality is boring. Immorality, at least is FUN. However Amorality is EXCITING, and requires absolute freedom to do whatever you like and not be beholden to any code nor creed. 👏👍🏽
That gives PRC a matter of right to repossess all the Dash-9 islands in the SCS?
