Crowds flock to see Magna Carta

Link: Crowds flock to see Magna Carta manuscripts - Telegraph.

I am delighted large crowds came to see four originals of Magna Carta on display. I am pleasantly surprised there are so many Britons who care; who must at some level understand its significance. It is a globally significant document; the embodiment of the concept of the rule of law, as opposed to the rule of men. Something tells me that none of our current rulers were in that queue. They are big fans of the latter, not the former.

Would this be the famous "British" Magna Carta as mentioned by our glorious Fuhrer Gordo?

See, we do have a Constitution, Magna Carta along with the Bill of rights.
But of Course, it is not EU Friendly, well its worked fine till you Communists came along.

The four vellum manuscripts, the basis of the British legal system, are normally kept under lock and key to prevent damage.

That'll be the English legal system I think.

Interesting that it was allowed to be displayed at all.

"Something tells me that none of our current rulers were in that queue."

Queue? They're far too important to queue. Queueing's for the "little people".
