Last month, students demanded the statue be returned to a royal palace in Nigeria from where it was plundered during a 19th century British naval expedition.

To paraphrase a well known Englishman,
Cry havoc, and let slip the spoils of war, indeed.
Um, I recall the Clingon saying that, quoting an earther.
Except he said let slip the dogs of war ... The English and Europeans don’t yet realize they are being invaded, with malice of forethought. Here in America, the pResident is aiding and abetting the Invasion of America by paying the travel expenses and inveigling costs to place the invaders across the country in as many towns as he can slick with the sword of his perfidy, his treachery. We stupid Americans can’t yet see his treachery for what it is ...
Well, the Klingon said, Cry Havoc, and let slip the DOGS of war. Just before getting blown up.
