Just saw a documentary recently on the BBC, about how,during medieval times, 11th/12th c. particularly,
Lords had almost complete control over the people
on their manor. I'm guessing, slaves could not just set up their own manors,
otherwise they would have.
So, to varying degrees, their lives were controlled, they were told what they
could and could not do. Most of their production of crops and livestock were taken by the Lord.
Oddly, this was largely ended by the Magna Carta, which gave freedom to the slaves, if not the vote.
Well! What relationship does this have with today?

They can blah-blah all day long,

So, the title of Lord needs to be modernised.
Either the House of Lords will try to end the control by the plutocrats
(government, banks, big offshore businesses)
or they will be linked, by association, once again to the title of
Lord and Slave-owner
