In the polite paraphrase of John Oliver, host of Last Week Tonight:
"I understand that you want the diamond, but the thing is that we have the diamond, you don't and we're going to keep having it forever. So in summary, finders keepers, go yourself. Cheerio." says Oliver, 'breaking down' former deputy prime minister Nick Clegg's "integral legal argument".
While referring to the crown on which the diamond now sits as an "elegant head sofa", Oliver calls Prime Minister David Cameron's response ("They're not having it back") as "petulant and childish" and expresses surprise that he didn't "lick the diamond to officially call dibs on it".
He doesn't stop there. The comedian 'reasons' Britain's reluctance on returning the Kohinoor saying if they were to start giving back the artifacts they brought in from their former colonies, the British Museum would go empty. He also refers to the British Museum as "an active crime scene".
