If you do not know the importance of the Magna Carta, stop reading this right now, go back to your high school, and demand your money back. Even if you went to public school, somebody needs to get their money back if the story of the Magna Carta and its legacy were not a part of your education.
With that out of the way, the news out of Great Britain is that Just Stop Oil protesters attacked the Magna Carta at the British Library. The two protesters damaged the glass protecting the priceless document before gluing themselves to the case, as usual. For once, I wish these people would glue themselves to something non-essential and then be left to savor their fates.
This type of sordid stupidity is commonplace among young, college-age barbarians whose worldviews rarely stretch beyond their impulses. But in this case, GB News reports that the offending protesters are in their 80s. Rev. Dr. Sue Parfitt, 82, and Judy Bruce, an 85-year-old retired biology teacher, did the smashing and the gluing, vowing that they would remain in place until they were presented with an «emergency plan» to end the issuing of oil permits by 2030.
