Or to massively punch some one in the face till they pass out? Or because men rape other men and/or children when they know they are in a position where they won’t be challenged. That is kind of the point.

The Koh-i-noor was owned by the Sikh Royal family, the Duleep Singhs. It was given - albeit under duress - by Maharajah Runjeet Singh to the British representatives as part of the Treaty of Lahore. Which was in turn taken from Shah Sooja-ool-moolk, the rule of Kabul. So if anyone has a claim, as strong as the Indian…

The Koh-i-noor was owned by the Sikh Royal family, the Duleep Singhs. And was “given” or loaned under duress to Queen Victoria by the last Sikh Maharajah. Alas, they have no living blood relatives otherwise there may be a case for ownership. Therefore the Indian government would have to run the gauntlet of…

Fair enough.

Oh I understand then. Fair dos. I went to a posh Scottish uni from an RC comprehensive in Skelmersdale so I understand the “rah-rah twats” entirely. I don’t need to apologise for them as I got a lot of grief and no love for “my people” either. The UK still very messed up, right? ;)

Because we have a lot of poor people and some think a heartless purchases like this would be insensitive in our current desperate climate. Some people are being denied life saving drugs on the NHS because of costing.

Yeah i hope it at least gets a viewing rather than sat in Scrooge MacDuck’s vault with all the other crowns.

She just sat very very still and had appropriate hair barriers.

BUT BUT BUT colonial museum treasures jewels and crowns and Queens and shit and those them there Faberge eggs stolen by those people what did that thing what happened in them days etc etc etc.

I lived in the US and you get too much gushing rather than “recoiling”. Even for those super horrific middle class southern English “expats” with mangled Estuary meets Bel Air stupid accents you find. If people cared about the issue and/or didn’t have dark historical pasts of their own, then it may be an issue. The…

For another, the US didn’t have colonies on the scale of European nations so there was simply less opportunity to steal

William Randolph Hearst had entire warehouses full of stuff including ancient buildings shipped over to the US and did nothing with them.

THANK YOU. The Met, the Smithsonian, the Peabody - all full of looted stuff that weren’t sold for cheap during foreign wars.

We have many many international billionaires living in the UK now (thanks to our generous banking and property rules). They are not going to give shit away to anyone but themselves. If the crown doesn’t get to a museum, it will spend it’s time in a real life Gringotts bank vault. Look at Sir Phillip Green who screwed…

Like Chelsea Peretti. Yes. I imagine she gets the same.

I’ve met Irish looking guys with red hair who say, “Oh, my mother was Jewish and I had a Bar Mitzvah.”

It should include HIMSELF. His mum was an immigrant - okay - from the islands of Scotland which is as white as humanly possible (i am in Scotland BTW). How many members of his family were in the US 100 years ago? Not that many.

I think a lot of this fear based assertions come from the fact that a lot of children develop noticeably at around the same age as the MMR vaccine.It is a very obvious coincidence. But the demonisation of kids on the spectrum in this kind of uninformed chat is unsavoury to say the least. It is very dangerous.

I never realise how much doctor Menzies would push my thrill buttons neither.
