Only Mrs May’s Government could celebrate Brexit by bringing the Bayeux Tapestry to Britain! Liam Fox’s trade triumphs with Trump and Xi are about as likely as the restoration of King Harold.

Don’t really get the fuss about the Bayeux Tapestry. If you want an embroidered version of history just read the Daily Mail.

The Bayeux Tapestry is not a tapestry, it is an embroidery. Tapestries are woven on a loom, while embroideries are made of threads sewn into a fabric.
