In giving this book and this chapter the title I have, in invoking the ‘Great Charter’, I am not to be taken literally. They did things differently 800 years ago (Carpenter, 2015; Holt, 1965). I am not advocating that we drag Theresa May or Boris Johnson to Runnymede’s ‘meadows’, leading them ‘beside the still waters’ of the Thames (Psalm 23), or that we draw up a new code for children in Latin, in which Jacob Rees-Mogg is, we must presume, proficient. Anything more top-bottom, it would be difficult to imagine! Magna Carta was first drawn up in Latin, and subsequently in French in 1225, before an English text was produced in the sixteenth century. Invariably described as containing quintessential British values, it reflects rather the interests of Norman aristocracy.
