As they should. The UK is full of stolen treasures. How would the UK feel if the Victoria Memorial was taken and displayed in China for example?

This just shows how europe and usa looted Iraq not just its historical artifacts but also billions of dollars worth of oil and gold..stripping iraq of everything that was valuable..
