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

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

    It is a bit weird, like the OP missed out "for the first time" after 'U.K.' but really the underlying article is there for the clicking, it's written at a level 12 year olds could read and it's a two minute read so the headline being a bit wonky is not going to lead to long term confusion.

  The problem is the transportation, not the length of the loan or even the loan itself.

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.

Why would people be opposed to this? France loans some world-class exhibits to the UK, and the UK loans some world-class exhibits to France. Seems like a win-win? Who loses anything with this?

  All experts in restoration/conservation have argued that the tapestry is too old and fragile to be moved. Macron has pushed for it (to announce as part of his state visit to the UK), the director of the Bayeux Museum has accepted (he is a civil servant, and more subject to politics). Experts agree that any move is likely to worsen tears in the cloth (a superposition of linen): https://www.latribunedelart.com/bayeux-tapestry-let-s-listen-to-the-restorers?lang=en https://www.latribunedelart.com/bayeux-tapestry-let-s-listen... The museum where it is exposed is supposed to go through renovation, and experts are worried even to move the tapestry within the same museum just for renovation purposes... one can understand their fears when it's about packing and transporting to the other side of the channel (notwithstanding the amazing level of the British Museum conservation team, among the best in the world).
