It seems anyone involved in this in France are opposed to this except Macron. Although he has authority over them I'm not confident it will be moved there in the end.

It's happening now, not in 950 years.

That headline is... dysfunctional.

"The Bayeux Tapestry will return to Britain for the first time in 950 years in a historic deal between Britain and France"

It’s funny to consider the parallels between the tapestry’s return and the campaigns for repatriation of the British Museum’s many stolen artefacts

You realise it's just a temporary loan for an exhibition ?

The automatic headline rewriting is an absolute joke and it has not improved a title a single time ever.

I, for one, think the French can keep their libelous and manipulative piece of Norman propaganda.

This title is wrong about the when and misleading about the what. A masterpiece.

  It is 3"rd page news, 3 days late, and the orange one stole all there fire.

They did pull out all the stops, and the King proposed a toast, flattering France, in French. Though this is only a symptom of how unpopular the governments in both countrys have gotten. Trump has correctly determined that the US has become the arbiter of everything, and it's do as he says, or figure something else out.Theater is not working as a substitue, no matter how you pronounce it.
