A little context:
- It was bought just after WW2.
- It's not an original, original. It's the 1300 version, not the 1215 or 1225.
- It's one of 25 known originals
- It's one of 3 known to still exist outside of Britain.
-
I’m going to repeat the reporter in Donald’s office when seeing the Declaration of Independence copy:
”oh my… god.”
-
Whoever did that deal must have been promoted.
-
Seeing as it was bought just after WW2, I doubt they still work there.

Shame

The original was a pdf that was lost when the Archbishop of Canterbury's hard drive crashed.

This never happens to me!

Is the magna carter the basis for American style of winner takes all culture? 51 percent want one way and 49 don’t get anything.

I any know about that, but it's the basis of a lot of English/American law. It codified Habeas corpus, for example.
