Add your brexit jokes here

The right to a fair trial was in the Magna Carta, Slavery was abolished in 1807, and I'm pretty sure domestic violence was illegal before the EU came along.
What a waste of 4mins 9secs, and I hope Monty Python sue them for plagiarism.

Trial by jury is the most venerated and venerable institution of Anglo-American law. Although it dates from 1215, it did not come about as a result of Magna Carta, but rather as the consequence of an order by Pope Innocent III (1161–1216). However, Magna Carta’s iconic reference to ‘the lawful judgment of his peers’ as a precondition for loss of liberty has helped in later centuries to entrench the right to jury trial in our pantheon of liberties.

Interestingly enough, the right to jury trial is not included in our Human Rights Act. This is because Parliament in 1998 adopted the European Convention on Human Rights, a lowest-common-denominator set of liberties which excluded any mention of juries because Napoleon had abolished them throughout Europe.

The first known use of the term domestic violence in a modern context, meaning violence in the home, was in an address to the Parliament of the United Kingdom by Jack Ashley in 1973.
