We are living in a fractured society. 

Our citizens and communities suffer from the financial burdens of unsustainable action (war) and we are entering a time where fear, security and threat are constant.

We are extremely concerned about our natural habitat and receive conflicting information relating to the impacts of global change.

It is blatantly evident that our

Governments are not standing up to challenges

in a way that encourages overall public confidence

and social stability.

It is with regret that there is little to suggest that our government is addressing deep community concerns,in particular ‘future for our next generations’. 

Therefore, friends, colleagues we have until

Novemeber 1st 2008 to organise ourselves, make clear what information and actions we require at grassroots and deliver these to our governments in a concise and orderly manner.  We must have voice !!!

The UK Peasants Revolt 2008 is organised by individuals and organisations who believe in the concept of sustainable development and who also believe that the UK Government are failing in their duties to act in the interests of the UK communities.

In particular those who are homeless, nomadic, victims of flooding, immigrants and our elders whom are concerned for their wellbeing in a climate that is unlikely to provide them with the security necessary to ensure their in the long term 'Quality of Life'.

Furthermore it is evident that our young community are finding everyday pressures mounting especially with regards to issues of Global Change and the lack of affordabble housing or accomodation.

Battle of Deptford Bridge 1497 - rising against unsustainable taxes!

 

Guy Fawkes and his co-conspirators in the Gunpowder Plot to assassinate James VI in 1605. Fawkes, though weakened by torture, cheated the executioners. When he was to be hanged until almost dead, he jumped from the gallows, so his neck broke and he died.

The end of the revolt: Wat Tyler (also spelt Tighler) killed by Walworth while Richard II watches, and a second image of Richard addressing the crowd

The Peasants' Revolt, Tyler’s Rebellion, or the Great Rising of 1381

The rising is significant because it marked the beginning of the end of serfdom in medieval England. It led to calls for the reform of feudalism in England and an increase in rights for the serf class.

 

 


The Purpose of the UK 2008 Peasants Revolt is to Bring to the UK Governments Attention the Plight of those that are Homeless or who are having their Traditional Way of Life Compromised through Unsustainable Parliamentary Practices
