Absolute treachery and plays right into the hands of China.

One of the great love stories of history - “two nations locked in an imperial embrace of such long standing and subtlety it was no longer possible for them to know whether they hated or loved one another … and seemed to have confused the image of their separate destinies” ..

And the CCP have probably made Starmer agree to virtuously split infinitives.

“Recognising the wrongs of the past”… Britain will pay reparations to a former French colony. Meanwhile the Chagos Islands do not get independence. The humiliation is deliberate.

One way of fiddling with migration numbers, pretend Chagossians don’t exist. “Her place of birth and the names of her parents were removed from her new certificate.” theguardian.com/global-develop…

“Engaging with art is essential to the success of the gamble against the Leviathan because art is fundamentally an expression of the soul…” Brilliant essay on conservative art 👇

War mongering.

George Osborne has been preeminent in flogging the nation’s assets. He should not be in charge of heritage and the Elgin Marbles are not his to give away. Any ‘loan’ agreement is a Trojan horse to the dismantling of the greatest museum in the world.

The Elgin Marbles were legally acquired by the British government for the benefit of the British people. They are not the British Museum's to give away via legal chicanery. The Greek government didn't care about them until it became politically convenient.

It’s close but I’m more angry about the Elgin Marbles than I am about Chagos. The former’s a more perfect example of elite overreach and is culturally and therefore strategically more significant.

Widow burning is truly romantic.

The Deans of Libraries at such institutes are the ones who need to be rapidly dumped.

Britain is part of European civilisation & the Elgin Marbles in London is the most inspiring exhibition in history, sparking the Classical revival. We do not need this wasteful “reimagination & renovation programme” or this deception & jugglery by failed philistine politicians.

It matters awfully: reading and writing are not merely modes of accessing and sharing a culture, they are the virtuously-spiralling driving forces that allow a culture to grow, embed, inspire and evolve. To lose these arts would be the single biggest regression of the human race.

Who needs hostile enemies when there is this kind of internal sabotage to heritage? There doesn’t appear to be one Classical expert on this panel. The Elgin Marbles are a permanent collection, not barter for Osborne’s corrupt deals. There will be no ‘reimagining’.

When the British Museum had a Chair and Trustees who could be trusted.

“She wore the burkha, that unhygienic head-to-toe covering that turns a woman into a walking symbol of inefficient civic refuse collection… Pity her for the titillation she must suffer.” - Paul Scott, ‘The Day of the Scorpion’

Please can the deeply conservative English establishment investigate why this convict charlatan still has any voice in public after ignoring the rape gangs in Rotherham as an MP because he was so buried in socialist fanaticism.
