Magna Carta – 800 years on and its impact

Interesting article here on The Magna Carta – it’s 8 century anniversary this year, its impact and suggestions of what it means.  I think it is interesting and intrinsic about The Magna Carta that, while the article does not mention it, ideas are like viruses – once you catch an idea, it doesn’t go away and it propagates.  Originally published in the Wall Street Journal by Daniel Hannan
