A few days after the Peasants Revolt was put down in 1381, King Richard ii made a speech in which he said:
"Peasants you were and peasants you are.
"You will remain in bondage not as before, but in an incomparably worse state.
"For as long as we are alive to achieve this, and by the grace of God rule this kingdom, we shall work with our minds, powers and possessions to keep you in such subjection that the abject state of your servitude may be an object lesson to posterity."
We need to ensure David Cameron, who is related to royalty, doesn't get another five years to inflict a 21st century version of Richard ii's menacing and pitiless peroration
