Reading about us annoying the french is an excellent start to my Sunday
It does sound like it can’t be safely moved. If that’s the case Macron + Starmer should cancel the loan, the tapestry’s preservation should override political gestures.
Suggestion that if possible after proper conservation the Tapestry may be displayed in a world class Museum with proper climate control etc (that happens to be in Britain). Section of the French Public “Mais Non” no doubt with much Gallic handwaving and outrage.
I am surprised they didn’t want to include fishing quotas in the loan they usually do
There’s an awful lot of embroidered dick on that thing-

Shut up French public. We should borrow it and never give it back.
Weird question, but is the Tapestry anywhere near as well known in France as it is in England? I’d love to see the typical nation demographics for visitors to the Bayeux museum since the tapestry shows an event which is central to English history but barely features as an aside in French history (especially as Normandy wasn’t really part of France at the time).
I don’t recall any fuss being made when the Vermeer in Kenwood House was deemed to be too fragile for transport to the Vermeer exhibition in the Netherlands a couple of years ago.
The French could be right on this one.
Perhaps we can make a deal with the EU, in which we hand over the Elgin marbles, and we get the tapestry back. Seems reasonable.
Britain wins, Greece wins, France loses.
The response when it’s on British soil and it’s asked to be returned is ‘what tapestry’
Wasn’t the tapestry made in England by English nuns anyway?
