Left-wing activists demand the repatriation of priceless artefacts from British museums

So-called 'anti-imperialist‘ activists demand artefacts are returned from British museums… even if some countries don‘t actually want them back (Denton Staff Contributor, 'Left-wing activists demand the repatriation of priceless artefacts from British museums' Denton Daily, December 15, 2019):

Have they lost their marbles? [...] They are priceless artefacts from across the globe that have long been carefully preserved at Britain’s great museums. But now there is a growing campaign by Left-wing activists for items of ‘stolen loot’ to be returned to their original homes – despite the fact that some countries do not want the relics back [...] even in the countries from which artefacts have been taken, there are those who say the treasures are best left in Britain.[...] Last week the mayor of Easter Island said the British Museum is a better home for the disputed statue because his people are struggling to preserve the hundreds of others they have there. And in Nigeria, Iheanyi Onwuegbucha, the curator of the Lagos Centre for Contemporary Art, said: ‘Nigeria is not ready to receive anything. We have rundown, leaking museums and insect-infested storage facilities.’

Nevertheless, the campaign continues to grow.
