The_DADDY Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Just Stop Oil says two protesters in their 80s have broken the glass around the Magna Carta at the British Library. The climate activist group said Reverend Dr Sue Parfitt, 82, and Judy Bruce, an 85-year-old retired biology teacher, entered the library and smashed the glass enclosure around the historic document. According to Just Stop Oil, the pair then glued themselves to the enclosure holding a sign which read "the government is breaking the law", and could be heard saying: "Is the government above the law?" The British Library in London holds two of the four surviving copies of the Magna Carta, with the others being held at Lincoln and Salisbury Cathedrals. It was issued in June 1215 and was the first document to put into writing the principle that the King and his government were not above the law. Rev Parfitt said: "The Magna Carta is rightly revered, being of great importance to our history, to our freedoms and to our laws. "But there will be no freedom, no lawfulness, no rights, if we allow climate breakdown to become the catastrophe that is now threatened." This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly. Im rather bored with the just stop oil mob. Not quite sure why they think they have the right to cause criminal damage and disruption the way they do.

geared Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Please go ahead and destroy our precious historical artifacts you withered old wrecks. Other than being an irreplaceable item, what link does the Magna Carta have to climate change? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vrsaljko Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 I'm getting so sick of these perpetually outraged people who protest everything. They obviously have nothing else going on in their sad little lives. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyrotequila Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 I can't find the original clip, but this frustrated guy sums up the blind stupidity of these people; They're protesting against oil, while wearing and using hundreds of products created from oil 🤦♂️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 You need to drive EV's to save the environment, but you can't build EV's because it'll damage the environment. Quote Hundreds of climate protesters have clashed with police in Germany after attempting to storm the Tesla factory near Berlin. Campaigners have been camped out in woods in Grünheide, in the state of Brandenburg, since February, claiming Tesla's plans to double the size of its factory would damage the environment. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cv2j0v237vko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
