Especially these days where multiculturalism has failed with the cohesion of common national values being called racist. The government now knows many of their citizens will comply with insanely tyrannical orders, lock yourself inside, stay away from each other hell you better not even seeing a dying loved one in the last breathe. And people overwhelmingly complied like actual cowards. Was this also your? How were people not ashamed of their cowardice? It’s a scary time for freedom of thought especially in the UK.

"Fair" isn't an amount. It's different feom person to person, and makes sense only to short sided people. For a fast food job, to me, "fair" is 8 bucks an hour for a teenager. If an adult does the same job, fair is also 8 bucks an hour.

Better than BBC docs, which are presented by fools and are biased and with annoying plucking music. Except Starkey but they no longer like him. In the 60s the media like the BBC would have sided with the 1381 peasants against the elite. But since then the BBC became part of the elite as the left took over, as thenew left posed as being concerned for the poor - which they are not. So now I suspect the BBC will be less on the side of the rebels, now that their lot (left) are the new elite, including the banks and billionaires. Rem how they ousted another elite in 1492, exiled them.

I was excited to see Kevin doing this event in history. There’s not much info on KZfaq concerning the Peasant revolt but it seems to have important historical significance. The ideas expressed in the manifesto by the peasants concerning human rights and personal freedom seem to be almost modern in their demands and their wishes for recognition by the upper class of personal rights and freedoms of all people - regardless of social standing. While the revolt did not achieve the aims of the participants, this could be considered the first time ever these ideals had been expressed in a formal document, paving the way for subsequent revolts and movements by the people for human rights and fair treatment for all - not just an elite upper class as had been the way going back to the earliest (recorded) human history. Thanks for the great storytelling, Mr.Kevin! I was so glad when I saw you’d chosen to cover this fascinating event!

its fascinating to imagine the scene unfolding as you describe events. What I wouldn't give to go back and be a fly on the wall during such events

A superb video , as a lad born in Barts and growing up in Clerkenwell I heard the story from my Grandad. Your efforts added real substance and I'd like to thank you for your research and hard work

Was excited to hear your take on The Peasant Revolt, I know how you feel about the common man getting the short end. I think the Revolt after the plague years was inevitable, with outrageous taxes (which lives in 'Baa Baa Black Sheep' about the wool tax of 1275) with common people doing better for themselves and getting the nobilities nose with their brightly colored clothes and pointy shoes, but more were sending their kids to the local schools run by the church so literacy was increasing among the peasants and one of the reasons that Revolt was so well organized was that with an increase of literacy they were circulating letters to each other with instructions. Thomas Walsing wrote down one these letter in his chronicle and its thought that they are cryptic instructions for organizing, such "John Sheep greetth well John Nameless and John the Miller and biddth they chastise well Hob the Robber and look shape ye to one head and no more." Thought that they are saying only have one leader or saying to meet up at Canterbury at the head of the Bishop. Chastising Hob the Robber might also be instructions to not do any looting but look for the documents with the green seal and target the lawyers and John of Gaunt's cronies. As for as the vitriol toward lawyers and politicians, well somethings never change, do they?

I recently watched a video on the tower of London, and this was part of it and how surfs become tenant farmers. But I'm always glad to get the full story here 👍 also how the young king handles himself pretty mature

Brilliant! Medieval economics and labour politics is one of my favourite historical subjects. Have you made a video about John of Gaunt? He's one of the key figures in Medieval Europe.
