<<What should we think?>> Just guessing, India has a valid argument. In which case, if it's handed over, like Jon Oliver suggests, would become a landmark decision. ... and legal precedent. Legal precedent - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This will create a torrent of claims. and the UK was not always the recipient of the garnered goods. The Scots are always singing about what a load of A/H's the English were. True to an extent. They forget the English had to Kowtow to the Normans in a big way. Our language has even been changed forever. An unsecured site, but ok I think. KryssTal: Borrowed Words by Language Even "cricket" and "wicket" are derived from the French! Remember we also have the doomsday book. The "Liber de Wintonia." Domesday Book - Wikipedia So we have it all "in writing" as it were. The French owe us, and they are still here. Big time. The whole frigging country was stolen, and we have the records to prove it. The surnames are a big giveaway. High house prices? Inequality? I blame the Normans \| Paul Kingsnorth \| The Guardian. So if we are going down the route of returning property to their rightful owners ... I'm not a FitzGerald. Category:Surnames of Norman origin - Wikipedia per recent quote: *"I'm Your Huckleberry"* See ya all in court -g- p.s. If India actually wants the diamond back, I am sure an arrangement could be made, no need to make a big fuss about it. It would probably start a cascade though, and exactly where does that end? Frankly I think the best thing for India to do would be to dig up (or manufacture) an even bigger one and use that as India's "New Diamond". That would add style and class to the new possession.

Rewinding history is somewhere among ridiculous, impossible, absurd, a waste of time, criminal, thieving, hopeless. In the particular case of some particular thing, maybe there's a case for rewind = such as "Oi, get out of my car and you owe me £1000 for damages during the theft". But when it's hundreds of years and millions of people with vastly changed borders and political systems and miscegenation by the megaton, it's normally ridiculous. For example reparations for Negroes in USA for slavery a few centuries ago. Obama, a half Caucasian very wealthy kleptocrat son of a Kenyan passer-by whose ancestors surely owned slaves should not receive loot robbed from some Jewish descendant of a refugee from the Third Reich who is living near the breadline. Best that can be done is to stop doing evil collectivist things from now on. If some Indian tribe has some scalp from the 18th century, or even 19th, obtained during conflict with new Euro arrivals, the descendants of that scalpee shouldn't be able to demand the scalp be given to somebody else. Similarly with dried tattooed heads that Maoris made from slave and other victims and sold to British, kept in Enland, though those were given to descendants of the murderous sellers in recent decades.
