Medieval manuscript causes big fuss


The Chronicles of Mann are the property of the British Museum (or so they say) and they’re hanging on to the book in the same way they clutch the Elgin Marbles.

They’re mad at the Manx Government for “rolling over” and they’re mad at the UK for being high-handed. Where do you stand?
