Magna Carta - Quo Vadis?

This year marks the 800th year since Magna Carta.
A professional footballer, Ched Evans, is unable to follow his profession.
After his release from prison for rape (which he denies), his negotiations with two clubs - Sheffield United and Oldham Athletic -  came to nothing because of strong opposition - which included death threats and an online petition signed by more than 65,000 people.
The main case of these protesters is that footballers should be a role model.
Some years ago I heard a Minister of the Church of Scotland speak on the radio. He had served time in prison for murder....
My 3 epetitions (see below) on Marriage and Migration were more deserving of support than denying a man a chance to start again.
