Thank God for CZcams: a platform full of riches.
Osborne doesn't wear a tie because he's still stuck in that look...he thinks it says something....he's always been considered a bit creepy
It's not about performance and what you do with it. It's about what you did to acquire it.
Mary Beard is the voice of reason.
Those who own the past are those whom are willing and able to preserve the past with honor and without prejudice. Ownership as responsibility to and on behalf of humanity. Sadly, at times of crisis or war, it takes an oligarch or an oligarchy to preserve and protect some of our finest acheivements.
What about the commercial aspect? Doesn’t Greece really want the Marbles in order to boost visits to their museums? And aren’t many artworks hidden away in tycoons’ / tyrants’ bank vaults, not available to anyone else to see? Why aren’t we concerned about that?
David Olusoga is a huge critic of the British empire but accepted an OBE. I don't get it.
A Very good debate. Informative, especially by Mary Beard. I would say a trustee of history not just The British Museum.
Owns!
Should have had the Greek PM on the panel.
Rory Stewart and his weird sword fetish....
I’m expecting this to be a load of trash by so call left wing “intellectuals”.
