I look to Historical precedents as confirmation that ultimately the only thing TPTB have is violence to bend you to their will. They will do anything to preserve their power and position, including shooting you dead in the streets if they have to. Remember the Peterloo massacre, Tolpuddle martyrs, Peasants revolt?, nothing changes.

So true, just like we have right now with the Tories 'only now' threatening to pull out of Europe (even though they don't want to) purely because that's the only chance they have of clinging onto power after the next General Election.
