Just Stop Oil 'Gangster Grannies' Attack Magna Carta

Two Just Stop Oil protesters in their 80s have smashed the glass around the Magna Carta at the British Library.
Reverend Sue Parfitt, 82, and Judy Bruce, 85, a retired biology teacher, targeted the protective enclosure around the historic document with a hammer and chisel on Friday morning.
Just Stop Oil said the pair then held up a sign reading “The Government is breaking the law” before gluing themselves to the display.
A statement from the British Library said its security team “intervened to prevent further damage to the case, which was minimal” and “the Magna Carta itself remains undamaged”.
The gallery that houses the display is closed until further notice, it added.

The Magna Carta isn't a work of art. It's much more important.

[@coldbreeze6344]

What the hell has gone wrong with this country and the rest of the world

[@mariewalmsley6143]

Make them pay for the damage with extras and clean it up, or a few weeks in jail.

[@ruthcollins2841]

Community work for next 10 years!

[@clovermark39]

Probably better amenities for them in prison.

[@KayEl58]

To refer to the Magna Carta as 'art' is utterly wrong. It's not and never was 'art'. It's the basis for our legal rights. Do the half wits involved in this sickening stunt have no education?

Commies are grooming grannies now. They couldn't care less about the planet. It's all about attacking Britain

[@carol.howard3560]

Jail both of them...

[@alexedwards6509]

No, jail their evil groomers. Funny how these poshtards couldn't care less about the climate when the weather is cold. God forbid these posh privileged fools should suffer any discomfort. It's only a planet, what's that compared to the precious darlings feeling a bit chilly

[@Merrymangoes]

And how much oil are they wearing….pathetic and in jail…

[@TheMerlin672]

This is what happens when you close all the loony bins.

[@noelmckenna3510]

Loony bin material is the hottest temperatures since records began and runaway global warming an who is the enemy here not grannies it's massive corporations with a vested interest in fossil fuels

[@BoingBB]

Yeah, 'Care in the Community' is definitely not working!

[@user-hq8bh1rw1y]

They didn't close them, they re branded them and called em universities.

The Magna Carta and the Bill of Rights are our Constitution. These idiots should be in prison, it is no laughing matter. The Magna Carter is not a work of art it is our Constitution.

The security in the care home that let them out.

That’s probably one of their family members filming it.

I doubt they are grannies or even parents.

[@clovermark39]

Family probably there who egged them on.

[@MaxinePayne-vb9bf]

Like someone said elsewhere why aren’t they protesting about child labour in Africa who are down the lithium mines who aren’t living past their teen years so they can supply lithium for batteries for the worlds electric cars.

[@robmcguire7534]

And for the mobile phones they were using to record their degenerate behaviour.

[@KayEl58]

I don't know why so many millions of people are unaware of the human cost of electric cars. Or maybe they are but they turn a blind eye because it doesn't fit their agenda.

[@lofty164]

Put them in prison for a few months

[@gillianm9367]

Beyond embarrassing 😳

We are all about to get 10years hard labour.

[@dennisharrington3821]

Thanks. The just stoppers make me laugh. They’re all clothed! Any idea how much oil was involved in making the silly tees they wear?🇺🇸

[@brendasmith1093]

How did they get there, by bus, taxi etc. all use oil this is how pathetic this lot are.

You headline Art attack, this is not Art its a very important legal document, put the stupid fools in prison. Its criminal.

[@stephfoxwell4620]

Very sinister insight to the mindset of these people. They despise our past and see it as thete to be destroyed.

Just stop oil is finished.

[@veronikaquick6738]

Perhaps a punishment from the Period might be appropriate including the tool recording.

[@mickymondo7463]

There is very little of Magna Carta still in force today, the overwhelming majority of it has been removed from British law. I reckon these two were probably there at the signing! Prison is much less expensive than a Care home, so I suppose they're saving a few quid of the kids inheritance by doing this.

[@flemster8370]

Problem is if you keep giving them Airtime they will carry on doing it. Same with the demonstration every sat in London . And Heinz soup most expensive should have gone for a savers brand.....

Heinz cant buy advertising like that.

Where have they been through the Winter months, sat in front of the fire no doubt.

[@forthfarean]

To be fair to the Nazis;, they mainly burnt pornographic and paedophiliac books.

[@Mike-tb5gj]

Who were the knob-heads filming them???? They should have been stopping them and taking their stuff away from them. By the way, the Magna Carta is a vital part of our Constitution, as is the Bill of Rights 1689. (Not that any of our treacherous politicians know - they either have no knowledge of it, or they are ignoring it).

[@Noddy656]

These two women should be sent to prison. It is not their first offence.

[@Mac-hw8jm]

All civilisations reach a tipping point, we are no different.

10 years in jail

[@KayEl58]

The Magna Carta is one of the most important historical documents in the world and probably our most important. Listing laws and ethics that are upheld to this day. What sort of vile scumbags would try to vandalise it? Put the old biddies in a secure home before they do any real damage.

[@johnbrennan7175]

Do they know that north sea oil production has fallen by over 60% since its peak in the 1990s and continuing to fall... right? Then there is the record breaking one million EVs now on the UK roads and continuing to increase.. right?. Plus the record breaking number of solar and wind farms now there has ever been and still building more... right?. And finally, the renewable energy industry is now 4 times greater than GDP. So the big question... WHY?
