UK to return all stolen artefacts, and become a good role model for young people.
Why this petition matters
Please sign this petition to ask the United Kingdom to return all the artefacts taken from other countries.
If we take something which does belong to us, we can be sent to prison. This is what we teach our children and it is the law of the land.
Our UK government teaches us differently, there is no retribution for theft, they keep what has been stolen. To add insult to injury the UK government offers to loan the stolen artefacts back to the people they were stolen from.
I urge you to help the UK government to lead by example and stop giving mixed messages of what is right and wrong. Our younger generation need morally correct role models at all levels.
