Mystery at the Museum

Historic British values are very much on display at the erstwhile Museum of British Petroleum, where the spoils of various decent British things done by jolly British chaps have apparently been recently privatised by unofficial British entrepreneurs. Even the chair of the parliamentary group on African ingratitude managed to point out the Britishness of refusing to repatriate looted artefacts on security grounds when one's own employees have spent the past couple of years relieving the self-declared repository of the world's heritage of its unregistered gains. Astoundingly enough, the filching of public assets for private profit managed to occur even under the adipose chairbeingship of a hard-right Conservative ex-chancellor. What can possibly have gone wrong?
