Not that I disagree with the general sentiment, but I'd be surprised if a National Museum of any country didn't have looted treasures. I'm not sure why the British are always singled out for this, and other countries conveniently ignored.

Other countries are not ignored, it's just that their looting pales in comparison and British culture gets talked about more by virtue of being in English.

Where the Rosetta stone would be if the British hadn't stolen it after the battle of Trafalgar.

Oh. As a French I did not know that. Those sneaky little thieves. Stilling our hardly acquired loot.

Typical.
