"If your ancestors were marauders, you’re not likely to have qualms about keeping £3.6 billion of somebody else’s money"
He also says "When those marauding old Norsemen found that they had mistaken Venice for Constantinople, they sacked it anyway because sacking was their business. Their progeny are not going to feel many qualms about keeping £3.6 billion of somebody else’s money."
