'Those people who say new exploration licenses will somehow create huge amounts of energy for us... I mean, they're just wrong' Ed Miliband told ITV News that drilling for oil in the North Sea wouldn't bring down Britain's energy bills

🇬🇧 Magna Carta had a twin. It was law for 754 years. You've never heard of it. After 1066, the Normans claimed the forests of England. Not just the trees... Villages, farmland, rivers. One third of the country. Land ordinary people had farmed for centuries. Taken. Hunt a deer to feed your family? They blinded you. Cut down a tree to heat your home? They took your hands. 1215. The barons forced King John to sign Magna Carta. The most famous document in English history. But Magna Carta was for the barons. Not for the people in the forests. Two years later. 1217. A second charter was sealed. The Charter of the Forest. This one was for everyone. The right to gather firewood. The right to graze your animals. The right to fish the streams. No more blinding. No more mutilation. For gathering wood. For the first time in English law, ordinary people had rights to the land. Not given by the king. Taken from him. 754 years. It was law until 1971. Every common in England. Every village green. Every right of way. The idea that land belongs to everyone... It started here. 🇬🇧 They taught you Magna Carta. They never taught you this. Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧
