  10. I think that this plan for charging "forinna's" to see their stolen culture heritage in our πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ museums is a great idea! πŸ‘
    Also make them show their passports!!!
    Force them to buy temporary one-time electronic ID passes!!!

    (... of course, we do have to pay to visit museums when we are abroad but I'm sure that they won't impose temporary tourist ID cards on us when we force them to buy temporary one-time electronic ID passes ... that would be rude ... and Un-British of them ...)
