A campaign has been launched to bring the Bayeux Tapestry, one of the world’s great works of art, back to Britain for the first time centuries, and put it on display in Canterbury Cathedral.

The famous embroidery of the 1066 Norman Conquest is the subject of a major conference of world experts being held at the British Museum next month......

“It really is a mess...can you imagine if all artifacts were ordered by some new international law to be returned to the countries of origin?”

Maybe we will be able to send Barack Hussein Obama back to Indonesia under that law.

Well, the Kings of England no longer call themselves King of France, so maybe the French could be a little understanding here.

Agree. It’s FINE right where it is. We’ve seen it and it’s priceless treasure.
