When Richard II was asked by the peasants to fulfill his oath as made to Wat Tyler at the famous meeting in London, he replied:
“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."
Our politicians have the same intent, but they are not as forthright and as eloquent as Richard II.
