The Government have today announced they will scrap the 800 year old Magna Carta calling it "outdated and unfit for use"
Justice Secretary, Liz Truss, speaking in front of a crowd of baying wolves said "it's time to move on, we no longer need it, we're going to take out what isn't need it and replace it.
The document dates back to 1215 when England was full of luscious green rolling hillsides, forests and you could leave your door open without anyone taking anything, mainly because you had nothing to steal.
It was written when England was ruled by the evil king John who used to eat babies (probably) and was unliked by lots of people who he said were jealous of his good looks and fast cars.
The document was the result of of an uprising by a group of rebel barons who wanted things like swift judgement and protection from illegal imprisonment.
The announcement has lead to much shock and horror from human rights activists.
Jenny Luck said "I just don't know why they would want to do this, any bill of rights should be an extension of what we already have, not a rewriting. What is going to be different, what do they want to scrap, I don't get it.
