Wailers storm the castle

[WTFH]

Surprised no one has shared this one yet.

Edinburgh castle was stormed by Trump-supporting, pro-Brexit, flat earth anti-vaxxers yesterday, claiming they could do it under clause 61 of the Magna Carta (see here for more of their views: https://learncommonlaw.today )
They seem to be unaware that the Magna Carta is English, not applicable in Scotland.

Probably linked to the same crowd, who, according to the Wail, tried to storm the BBC Head Quarters:

Except they went to a building used by ITV, not the BBC. BBC TV is about 200 miles from there.

The BBC also still has (have?) studios near Oxford Circus as SueEllen mentioned at the time of that protest

Yes, the radio studios at Wogan House, next to Broadcasting House in Portland Place, but the TV studios are all up in Salford, no longer in White City (as per the Wail and the protestors).

I'm just amazed at the number of cases they won citing common law!

Worth noting that as well as having no relevance to anything they say, clause 61 of Magna Carta was revoked. In 1216, to be precise

They also need to be clear which version they are citing. 1215,1216,1217,1225 or 1297.

There are only actually 3 clause left in use now. 1, 9 and 27.

1 relates to freedom of religion for the Church of England.
9 Protects the rights and freedoms of the City of London.
27 Enshrines the right to trial by law.

Not true. There are TV studios at Portland Place, the One Show is based there among others, there are also studios at Elstree (Strictly, Pointless etc.) White City (Television Centre) studios are still run by the BBC (on a commercial basis) and hired out to others, including ITV.
The BBC do still film some shows at White City (e.g. the Graham Norton Show & The Apprentice), and there are BBC offices and post-production facilities about 500yds up the road (Top Gear used to be based there, and quite possibly still is, and I spent a year or so there )

Realistically, we could thin that out to one.
