| A distinguishing feature of the postwar period was in fact its exceptional reliance on unfree labour. |
| The court customary was the court for unfree tenants or villeins and was presided over by the lord's steward or bailiff. |
| The labour needed to work these areas was provided by transforming free peasants into unfree tenants tied to the land. |
| I believe that peasants should be bound to the land as unfree thralls who do the bidding of the freemen without question. |
| Instead of the courts deciding who should be free and who unfree, the home secretary has sought to grab and keep that power for himself. |
| Moreover, the productivity of investment is 70 percent greater in economically free nations than in unfree nations. |
