Better watch it there Gene, some of the more sensitive here may report this as "Too Political!!"

Oh who the hell am I kidding? How many would actually recognize this iconic image of John Ball of the "Peasants' Revolution" during the reign of Richard II??

Just a heads up for those wondering; in this event, the Peasants did not fare well..

Richard II's tirade for the Peasants said it all...

“Rustics you were and rustics you are still,” the chronicler Thomas Walsingham reports him saying later to an Essex deputation seeking confirmation of their liberties. “You will remain in bondage, not as before but incomparably harsher. For as long as we live… we will strive with mind, strength and goods to suppress you so that the rigour of your servitude will be an example to posterity.”

Hell same with his Dad, Henry II, and his brother John. It took Edward the First, yeah the dude in Braveheart, to be the first, true British King, over 200 years since the Battle of Hastings. It wasn't that big a deal, since just about the entire British peerage were all given their land and titles from William the Conqueror after the Battle of Hastings. That was the lure to get them to help with the invasion, "We win, you get that Duke title, a castle and a nice estate to go with it."

Got that right, for a country that prides its nationalism, it's been run by more foreigners than people know.

Sounds like an Employment Contract I once signed.
