Magna Carta is a "powerful symbol of social justice", according to Salisbury Cathedral, which houses one of four surviving copies.
But the CCTV that guards it is provided by a firm whose tech allegedly aids Uyghur genocide and Russia's war effort in Ukraine.

This looks...not for me, to be kind.
But it cannot be as bad as the only other play I've seen at the same venue, which was so bad that at one point I whipped my glasses off in anger and nearly shouted: "What are you doing? Stop this!"
