Peasants are frequently disaffected, but they rarely revolt. They are usually passive spectators of political struggles. Peasants often harbor a sense of injustice, but this needs to be given shape and expression. Thus peasant wars are generally initiated by a fusion of disaffected intellectuals or military leaders, and rural supporters. Moreover, peasantry will rarely join an uprising until the superior military forces of the rulers have been neutralized.

“Plebs. All we care about is your usefulness to us. Who cares for your pay and conditions. Just work, work, work and do it now”.

See, @_HenryBolton@twitter.com has shown here just how vital workers are.

Support the strikes.

They win, we all win. https://twitter.com/_henrybolton/status/1610946667821277187

Want to know what a 14th century legal case has to teach us about storytelling? I reveal all in the latest issue of Uncanny Magazine. This is one of my favorite things I've had a chance to write recently, because I've always been obsessed with Chaucer as well as this period in British history. Also! You should buy a subscription to Uncanny! #chaucer #medieval #history #storytelling #uncannymagazine #peasantsrevolt https://www.uncannymagazine.com/article/what-a-fourteenth-century-legal-case-can-teach-us-about-storytelling/

Is anyone else beginning to see the media ceasing to believe their own rhetoric about the 'nasty', 'mean' unions?
Did I sense a lack of conviction when #r4today interviewed Scots teacher?

I have been saying for some time is it time for pitchforks, and now Marina Hyde begins to support my view. An antidote to the genteel atmosphere I sense here in toot land!

RT @MrKipper6: So many students, many barely turned 18 were fined and some thrown out of Uni for the same and less than the bastards in No 10. We need a Peasants Revolt and not some stupid Platinum Jubilee.
