Great Reopening

The Great Reopening was a pseudolegal anti-lockdown scheme spread on social media in late 2020 in which small business owners and managers across the UK opened their premises to customers in contravention of COVID-19 lockdown regulation.Anti-lockdown campaigners backed by Piers Corbyn and David Icke push for illegal 'Great Reopening' of shops and businesses from TOMORROW despite Covid rules - as police threaten 'ultimate action' against flouters (29 January 2021) MailOnline The group behind the scheme initially encouraged defiance based upon a misinterpretation of Clause 61 of the Magna Carta, and provided a pseudolegal notice to be displayed proclaiming the individual's "right to enter into lawful dissent" and declaring the business "under the jurisdiction of common law". Although, upon consultation with an actual lawyer, this advice was later retracted, many went ahead with it regardless. These arguments in modern times are generally restricted to proponents of Organised Pseudolegal Commercial Argument (OPCA) schemes such as freeman on the land and sovereign citizens. The campaign was supposed to culminate in a, well, great reopening on January 30th, 2021, but only 70 business actually signed up and those either never opened or were quickly shuttered by the authorities.Among the Covid sceptics: ‘We are being manipulated, without a shadow of a doubt’ by Samira Shackle (8 April 2021) The Guardian
==Does Magna Carta mean nothing?==
Social media posts claiming Clause 61 of the Magna Carta gave people the right to lawfully dissent or rebel against unjust governance, were quickly debunked by Full Fact's Claire Milne, who clarified: 
Commentator Robert Shrimsley suggests that motivated reasoning is at work, with individuals who do not like a particular law and think it shouldn't apply to them, but with no actual legal defence, settling on Magna Carta as an excuse. Such cases, according to The Law Society's Ellie Cumbo, often arise from ignorance of the legal system, compounded by poor advice found online. Journalist Hussein Kesvani confirms social media, especially Facebook, are to blame with viral videos of business owners citing Magna Carta to police officers hashtaged #knowyourrights and #donotconsent.There’s a darker side to English businesses citing Magna Carta to defy lockdown by Hussein Kesvani (3 November 2020) The Guardian Opinions
Citing Magna Carta plays to some individual's puffed-up sense of being the true defenders of the nation, notes Shrimsley. On far-right social media, Kesvani adds, Magna Carta is invoked as a rallying cry against the government and the elites. Cumbo agrees that the embrace of such "alternative" legal concepts parallels the rejection of "elitist" scientific expertise which accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic. The promise of freedom, security and fixity during pandemic chaos could bring such discontents into dangerous politics, warns Kesvani.
It's important to distinguish between those engaged in willful defiance of supposedly "unjust" laws passed by perceived "elites", and those who due to a lack of basic legal knowledge, exacerbated by bad online advice, get swept along by the wrong idea about how law works, Cumbo concludes. Equally important, Kesvani notes, is not to dismiss these seemingly ridiculous people, as they are desperate and prone to exploitation by dubious groups. In the US, protestors carry guns and display "Live Free or Die" bumper stickers, concludes Shrimsley, so merely sticking up pictures of the Magna Carta and moaning about face masks is a small mercy to be grateful for.
==Open and shut cases==
The press reported on the owners and managers of a number of small business who quickly found themselves in legal trouble for following this scheme.

Sure enough Walton opened as usual, and when police and council officers arrived to serve a prohibition notice, he accused them of trespass and stated:
 
Protestors from Stand Up Bristol turned up in support of Walton, with organiser Harlequin Forde! incorrectly stating, "We're here to protect Holey Skin… who is refusing to comply with Covid restrictions," and, "We agree with this because these restrictions aren’t legal… they are not law." 
The confrontation concluded with the officer posting the notice through the letterbox, and Walton responding, "We're not accepting that,” “It will be returned to sender," and, "Can I just point out there is no crimes being committed here?" He then went out to do a victory dance for the cameras of the local press.
====Blowing it====
Remaining open, he confirmed to police, "I haven't accepted any prohibition order. I am a living man and I do not consent," "This land is governed by consent and we do not consent," he continued by tugging on the heart strings as a father of six, before concluding, "This is not a criminal matter… I know they're getting you to do stuff, but your hands are tied."Covid-deniers gather as Bristol shop stays open after police visit by Conor Gogarty (9 November 2020) Bristol Live
In another visit, Walton began an encounter he described as "perfect" by telling the "nice" officer, "I made it quite clear on my Instagram account I will be issuing £10,000 fines for any more police visits." He went on to state, "I have an affidavit of truth," before launching into a four-minute tirade about "common law," which elicited, "I did not know that was the response I was going to get," from the officer. "I really appreciate this chat and I will not be issuing you a 10 grand fine," Walton concluded.Police officer tells lockdown breach tattoo artist Aron Walton: 'I'll leave you to it' by Conor Gogarty (12 November 2020) Bristol Live
When police and council officers returned with a warrant of entry and a locksmith, Walton told the locksmith, "Don’t blow through the hole please, you could have Covid," and said to the officers: 
Upon entering the officers arrested Walton, seized equipment and issued a £1,000 fixed penalty notice, to which Walton responded, "I do not consent, I do not accept it," but, "Leave that evidence there for me, please."
