Patriot Retort:
I mentioned yesterday that I’m reading the 8-volume History of the English People by John Richard Green. And on Sunday, I got to the part where Richard II, the boy king and grandson of Edward III, was crowned. Boy King Richard got his first test at the tender age of fourteen during the Peasants Revolt of 1381.
What lead up to the Peasants Revolt?
Well, a number of things. But let me give you the Readers Digest condensed version.
There were three things that are chief among the causes: the Plague, subsequent laws against the peasants due to the plague, and onerous taxation. read more
This is great. And it is happening.
History repeats, and we never learn from it. Duh
Yes, we can thank Bolingbroke for sowing the seeds of the Wars of the Roses with that usurpation jazz. (Not that I like R2 – a great tragedy that his father, Edward the Black Prince, died first.)
So we have a child king right now. Where’s the revolt?
I should add, when I say where’s the revolt, I mean, I agree and it may be the only thing to save us. But can we stop being so polite and patient already?

I suspect that “they” very much want to and will imprison and/or try to kill a lot of us. But they won’t be able to do it with impunity this time.
“History repeats, and we never learn from it. Duh”
“First as tragedy, then as farce.”
If we learned from it; we wouldn’t be us.

Sir Rodney: Sire, the peasants are revolting.
King Id: I’ll say.
