The Working Classes (Grumble)

You do know that barely any "manual labour" exists in Britain anymore? Most jobs that earn an amount of money that you would believe qualifies someone as a violent delinquent are actually in services or administration.

We don't have mines to go down anymore. We can no longer toil at your pleasure. Soz bout that.

Are you gonna provide any legitimate statistics or proof for your statements, or are you just a little bit resentful to the thugs in your presumably 'bad' school for stealing your lunch money and kicking you in the privates?

Classism is still pretty much around the UK, just because Blair said 'we're all middle-class' doesn't make it true.
Yeah, its hard, and unfair. That's one of the many reasons I became a Socialist. :/

I smell a troll. Capitalism isn't about being intelligent anyway, academics are some of the most intelligent people on Earth and they earn very little.

I'm just seeing alot of spiteful vitriol against the working classes on the rest of GD. Wanted to know peoples reasons. It's quite worrying to know that people will actually despise me at university because of how wealthy their parents are.

Not me or any of my friends.

Do we deserve to be discriminated against because of where we were born? Why is classism acceptable but racism terrible. Two sides of same coin imo.

No you don't. We're not living in America. You could have a poor Lord and he'd still be upper class.

No, that's not my definition at all, I said working class people are chavvy delinquents.

Arguably thats worse, they don't produce a good or a service, just leech off the state. Anyway i'm just playing devils advocate, I want to see where this is going...

What about the entire construction sector? Builders, plumbers, decorators, electricians? Face it, you have no clue what you are talking about.

Many expect the tax payer to foot the bill for their income.

Many expect the tax payer to give them a free home.

I hate the fact that they even have the audacity to dream about going to university. University is a place for the financially elite.

Stop playing the victim card. Many working class people act as I described. Also many working class people have reverse classism against middle class people....

Something you have shown yourself, when insinuating middle class people only get somewhere because their parents give them jobs.

I am middle class and I grew up in a very working class area, I have worked working class jobs and I know exactly how these people are and how they act.

I got a lot of (negative) comments about me because of the way I talk (apparently i am too posh) and because of my background.

Perhaps the working class should do mroe to help themselves than hating people who try and make their lives better.

You do though. You equate wealth to intelligence. Which is a flawed argument considering our wealthy specimen here. How did you earn your money btw?

So.. what about my Dad who grew up on a rough council estate in Derry.
Who now is a respected historical researcher. He is a chavvy delinquent?
