Two supporters of the climate activism group Just Stop Oil have smashed the glass protecting the Magna Carta, an iconic British manuscript from the 13th century, on Friday.
According to Just Stop Oil, Reverend Dr. Sue Parfitt, 82, an active Anglican priest and author, and Judy Bruce, 85, a retired biology teacher, entered the British Library in London on Friday morning and “smashed the glass enclosure that surrounds the Magna Carta.”
After this, the pair glued themselves to the document’s enclosure and held up a sign that said “The government is breaking the law,” Just Stop Oil said.

“Can anybody tell me what the Magna Carta has to with oil?”
Absolutely nothing. These people thoroughly enjoy destroying historical art pieces and artifacts to demonstrate their moral indignation toward human progress and modernity.
It’s time to arm the guards at museums and historical sites. You come in to destroy, you get shot.
Simple solution that would end this petulant activity with a quickness.
The most brain-dead, incorrigible leftists I know are in their 70s and 80s
I assume its because Socialism/activism was the fashion when they were young, and they stayed in love with it, like it was the Beatles.
Besides, if reality hasn’t changed their mind by 70 years old, they are firmly brain-dead, and nothing will change it. They’ve spent their lives convincing themselves wokeism must be correct.
Lesbians
Did these terrorists arrive by car, bus? Was a plane involved? Are the clothes they’re wearing, eyeglasses, and hearing aids made with plastics? How do they heat their homes? Hypocrites I bet, probably use oil based products every single day.
They hate civilization and wish we were back to pre-fire conditions.
People keep on not understanding this so I am going to keep on saying it until the light dawns.
Yeah....and churches also have plenty of candles.
Let them live in wattle and daub huts with thatched roofs, attempting to read Marx’s “Das Kapital” by rushlight.

Iconic? That’s all they have to say about it. It’s a document of paramount importance to Western Civilization.
It’s the document that began the end of feudalism and the beginning of democracy, which is why all despots, dictators, royals, and tyrants wish it didn’t exist. Damn those privileged European values and rights for humanity. Just ask Achmed tdt.
Mentally Ill Reverend
You can bet they didn’t ride there on their Bike
Wait some of that stuff she’s using is made from Oil ,LOL
No the Magna Carta was the first document to limit the power of government.
vicars used to try to set good examples for their flocks
They have enjoyed long lives with the benefits of oil & all of it’s products.
Pretty HYPOCRITICAL
If Reverend Dr. Sue Parfitt hates oil be better take an ax to about everything else.
Old stooges are as crazy as the young ones note Joe Biden.
Hammer and chisel. A photo in the article shows them in action.
Hammer and chisel with parts made from Oil ,LOL
Why not ALWAYS let ‘Just Stop Oil’/ ProHamas/ BLM terroristfascists remain glued ?
Would be a VERY good thing !!
Yeah, but were they at Bury St. Edmunds when the barons met to agree to force King John to sign?
