Judges seem to be lacking any sense of the "Common Law" when one looks at some of the judgements handed down. Then we have the real joker, Parliament, "representing the people who are sovereign and holding the executive to account". If it did not allow so much suffering it would be farce, for clowns read politicians.

There is nothing in the articles of Magna Carta that I listed that is in any way unreasonable or ridiculously permissive; I can only assume that most of them have been repealed because they interfered with one or another of the outrageously illiberal things the state has been doing since. @ Steve – yes, I see that from your link.

I'll have to go back to find out which three they were talking about! The MC exhibit at the British Library claims that all but 3 of the clauses in it have been overridden by later legislation.
