In today’s newsletter: As police in the UK launch an investigation into what happened to missing artefacts, an art detective explains why such thefts are so difficult to prevent
I can’t believe the Brits lost them. I thought they were holding all the artifacts there for safekeeping as a goodwill gesture to the rest of the world.
If they can’t hold on to these, they should just return them.
Even if they could hold on, they should return them, but clearly aren’t willing to.
That was their whole reason to still hold onto them. That’s an inflammatory amount of hypocrisy.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
“So imagine that you steal something from a museum that has not been categorised, that will be dismantled or be melted down by a corrupt jeweller, it doesn’t matter if you have a million police officers working at the art squad, or one – there is no difference,” Brand says.
Perhaps not the souvenir front page we might have hoped to offer today, but the Guardian still pays tribute to England’s Lionesses in their moment of “Pride and pain”.
“Heroes to the end, our brave, battered but beaten Lionesses” – that’s the Daily Mail whose news lead is “Make coward Letby face us!”.
Even the Financial Times gets into the spirit with “Reign of Spain – England hopes dashed in final”, sharing the front page with “Beijing pushes for Brics expansion in effort to create stronger rival to G7”.
“Nothing is going to make me cringe or cower,” says Joy France, who was once painfully shy, and now enjoys dishing out insults – and receiving them – as a battle rapper.
The former teacher gave up a “predictable” life, as she tells Paula Cocozza in the Guardian’s latest A new start after 60 column, in favour of giving new things a go and “following coincidences”.
