- As the countdown to the 800th anniversary of the sealing the Magna Carta begins, the Guardian's legal affairs correspondent Afua Hirsch talks to justice secretary Ken Clarke on its relevance today
We the people must hold on to this document as it was written with our interests at heart and it holds our inalienable rights above the government or the crown.
"We have granted also, and given to all the Freemen of our Realm, for Us and our Heirs for ever, these Liberties under-written, to have and to hold to them and their Heirs, of Us and our Heirs for ever." - Magna Carta 1297, Section 1
It can not be repealed but the Government has repealed almost all of it.
What about article 61,62 and 63?
So who decides what "due process" is?
Every1s entitled to due process of the law. A gr8 maxim. But what if you've been wrong by a corrupt judge using police like a private army? (Norman Scarth, Robert Greene etc) N don't get me started on family courts. Children removed from loving families WITHOUT ANY DUE PROCESS

ccol story bro!
You would not need such tight anti-terrorism laws if you only let your citizens help in the nation's defense. I mean legalized gun ownership of a wide variety of firearms.
Does Magna Carta mean nothing to you? Did she die in vain?
