Thanks for that Ben - I had no idea! What a shame it’s become embroiled in a racism row.

I wonder if the new tapestry depicts the modern-day penchant amongst Britons for bickering with each other instead of facing the World together....

I was wondering if the tapestry is still in the UK or it was transferred...

Don’t think it’s due here until 2022.

Reading Museum would be an excellent location so that the two can be viewed side by side.

Maybe someone can work a "fallen Madonna with the big boobies" trick!
