A Couple of Artefacts Attempt to Destroy An Artefact

Just Stop Oil are using grannies now

Gangster Grannies attacked the Magna Carta at the weekend in a bid to change the weather.

Two fossils protesting fossil fuels used a hammer and chisel to try to smash the glass case containing the famous document at the British Library.

They barely damaged the case at all.

To be fair, the anarchist grandmas would be flat out cracking an egg.

Breaking wind would be easier than breaking glass for these two poor misguided ladies.

They barely had enough strength to know the dust off the glass.

You can watch their slow motion vandalism here …

Weird that these old women would attack the Magna Carta now, having never said a word when they watched King John sign it.

(Thanks. I’ll be here all week)

Anglican priest Reverend Sue Parfitt, aged 82, said …

“As a Christian I am compelled to do all that I can too alleviate the appalling suffering that’s coming down the line, and that is here already.

“Whatever it takes. Whatever the cost. So we must Just Stop Oil!”

I bet she didn’t ride a horse to the library.

Reverend Parfitt only wants to stop oil because, at age 82, she’s about to turn into it.

Honestly, I’m not sure whether Reverend Parfitt was protesting oil or proving why women should not be ordained.

What a bore.

The elderly agitators are old enough to have seen the oil industry through from the very beginning. Having lived their entire lives using all the oil, gas and other pollutants that they possibly could, these two wowsers want to bankrupt their grandchildren because they don’t understand how the world actually works.

Having benefited their entire lives from cheap energy, they now want to drive costs through the roof for the next generation. And they call that ‘Christian’.

I bet Parfitt and her nursing home buddy volunteered to vandalise the British Library display, under the assumption that two old dears in their 80s would receive a lesser punishment for criminal damage.

I sincerely hope they are dealt with equally under the law, such as is laid out in the Magna Carta that they attempted to destroy.

Meanwhile, the bosses at Just Stop Oil should be mercilessly ridiculed for sending a couple of 80-year-olds to smash bullet proof glass with a hammer.

The real question, of course, is who is at home looking after their cats?

The attack on the Magna Carta is not the elderly pair’s first rodeo.

In November, they interrupted a Thanksgiving service at St Paul's Cathedral by walking to the front and holding up bright orange posters saying 'just stop oil' and 'will our children thank us?' 

In October 2022 Reverend Parfitt was among 16 people detained by police for causing gridlock when they sat in the middle of a London road.

In 2020, Reverend Parfitt was arrested for obstructing a highway in Bristol.

And in October 2019, she was arrested for climbing on top of a train.'

All of which goes to prove, wisdom doesn’t automatically come with age.
