    Just take his remains back home to England. My late Zimbabwean father died and was buried in England. I hope one day to bring his remains back home to Zimbabwe.

    Honestly the locals should be the deciders. Not sure if they are all on board like the person feature, but it is their space and everyone else is talking theoretically about history and symbols. Nice thought experiments for discussion at school, but for the locals it affects them directly not in theory.

      Europeans don't care when they do it to blk people in Egypt. Germany is still selling my ancestors skulls on the internet. They should have tossed it down the hill and went to the bathroom on it and left it for animals.
