The National Gallery is firing a public broadside in its campaign to extract from Albion the iconic George Stubbs kangaroo and dingo paintings.

This kicked off in April and the Poms appear to be digging in about letting we colonials have the oils.

The Grauniad has the pommy side of the story.

I suspect we’ve got as much chance of getting the paintings as our cricketers have of getting the Ashes.
