Stockport was once a very interesting place to visit being a Roman town with higgeldy piggeldy streets and shopping emporia of hugely diverse kinds. Then they built a shopping centre, put a bloody great motorway through the middle and killed it. YMMV.

A Christian bookshop near me (The Mustard Seed, Gedling) has now racked up £17000 of fines using this Magna Carta nonsense.
A common theme seems to be the printed notice in the window which contains the line "I am a living persons..."

£17000 in fines, and trying to hide behind magna carta. There's a certain amount of schadenfreude, but also i kinda feel sorry for them, they've basically been scammed.
