I think these two must be in the early stages of dementia:
Two Just Stop Oil protesters have been arrested after damaging the case around the Magna Carta at the British Library.
Reverend Sue Parfitt, 82, and Judy Bruce, 85, a retired biology teacher, targeted the glass enclosure around the historic document on Friday.
The pair then held up a sign reading "The Government is breaking the law" before gluing themselves to the display, footage posted online shows.
The British Library said security had "intervened to prevent further damage".
The Metropolitan Police said two people had been taken into custody having been arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage.
The British Library said the damage to the case, which was caused at about 10:40 BST, was "minimal" and police said the document itself was not harmed.
Rev Parfitt, who held a chisel while Ms Bruce used a hammer, said: "The Magna Carta is rightly revered, being of great importance to our history, to our freedoms and to our laws.
"But there will be no freedom, no lawfulness, no rights, if we allow climate breakdown to become the catastrophe that is now threatened."

Isn’t it strange that you never seem to find any of these nutters with proper jobs in industry and other wealth creating sectors.
Yes, just the sort of jobs that pay for teachers and Reverends.
And maybe they should get themselves an education. The Magna Carta was all about rights and laws, not the right for nutters to go around doing what they want and breaking whatever laws they want.
They also might want to consider that when the Magna Carta was signed, England was in the middle of a golden age, thanks to the Medieval Warm Period!
But maybe they prefer the deathly times of the Little Ice Age, before fossil fuels lifted humanity to its present state of luxury.
But I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt, and blame it on dementia!
