I prefer the nicking of what purported to be the stoner of Destiny friom that wooden chair in Westminster Abbey by Ian Hamilton and his pals.
Now, THAT's gesture politics.

 By the way, Magna Carta's not really worth the oink it used to write it.
Which version were the protesters citing? The original, or the rewritten version which the English made, writing Scots claims out of the document?

For understandable reasons, it was never incorporated into Scots law, since the pre Union legal system remained separate from that of the RUK.

"Does Magna Carta mean nothing to you? Did she die in vain? Brave Hungarian peasant girl who forced King John to sign the pledge at Runnymede and close the boozers at half past ten! Is all this to be forgotten?" - Tony Hancock, 'Twelve Angry Men', with a nod to whichever member of this fine forum has the first part of that as their signature.
