We need to get rid of the "chav" culture

So its behaviour that defines chavs then? So why does a Google image search on "chav" bring up a particular fashion style?

How would you bring about your equal utopia?

To be honest, I think we're too far gone, I don't think there is much that can or will be done right now other than tinkering around the edges. It's worth noting, however, that for 99% of human history, we have lived in societies of "equal utopia" as hunter-gatherers; that is the human norm, industrial civilisation is the exception.

To suggest they are the only outcomes is pedantic at best.

Why hell do they need financial support?! Being a chav isn't a disability, it's a choice, and it's their choice that stops them from getting jobs because of their attitude, dress sense and language. What exactly are they being supported for?

'Chav', the legitimised insult used to describe the poor, a group considered fair game for any kind of humiliation by the right-wing press. The Sun and the Mail make money by attacking this group. They are owned by offshored oligarchs who live in billion-dollar mansions and think up new ways to insult British poor people. Great.

It's a drain on the UK, it's a drain on society, it's a drain on our culture. It's just awful.

Most anti social crimes in the UK are committed by these morons, lets be tougher on them!

They stand for the "working class"? No they don't. I'm working class and I despise them.

It's about time we clamped down on these scumbags. All they do is drink or do drugs. They don't have jobs. The way they go on is appalling. It's time we clamped down.

Oh, and the thing that annoys me. "Oh, they need a cuddle. They just need support." No they don't. They need a kick up the arse. They need a prison sentance. They need a reality check.

These people are ruining this country by playing the "were working class" card.

Ah yes. The rampant unemployment is because no-one can be bothered to dress properly for job interviews. Cut all the benefits!

You'z got Daily Mail syndrome?

So you hate poor / working class people and are generalising those who wear sports wear brands as criminals? You'd probably be surprised that other people commit crimes too and if you looked through the prisons there'd be a fiar amount of middle class people in there too.

What confuses me about your post is that surely most working class people wear sports brands or similar and therefore they are all "chavs" and "criminals" to you.

The fact certain people do those activities my friend is because of the poverty trap. They are raised in a community where there are little or no opportunities to do much other than get a low skilled job or where many are unemployed, therefore they need support to get out of the trap and be encouraged to follow through with their education so they can go to Uni > job > out of the trap.

Anyway, what your post spells out is not that you're angry with sports brands-wearing people or even the working class, but rather criminals instead, who could be from any background or class.

Criminals commit crimes, yes. You could have just posted a thread saying I hate criminals which would have sufficed but no you've made me write my new novel out on thestudentroom.

Bottom line: don't stereotype and avoid prejudice kids!

Chavs have the right idea tbh. Its difficult to be a respectable citizen these days as a young person when one can hardly even work for free and tuition fees are ridiculous. Employers and the elite in general dont give a **** about native hard working Brits - the key is to embrace chavdom and riot like fuck over the coming summer.

I agree that such behaviour is unacceptable, however one must consider the reasons WHY it is occurring in the first place. As far as I can see, besides the obvious criminality, it is due to a severe lack of jobs and a benefit 'culture' that certainly needs addressing. However, to use the term 'chav' as a means of demonising the working-classes is ignorant and should be avoided in my view.

Discussing who is to blame (ie Labour/Tory squabbles) is both counterproductive and pathetic. It is how we solve these social and economic problems that should be the priority. The constant verbal ping pong between these two parties is infuriating.

In essence, don't argue over who caused the mess, just work to clean it up. Starting from the top of course.

Cry me a river. Chavs are scum. Stop trying to justify their behaviour in true Labourite fashion by blaming the normal members of society. Labour created this mess when they decided that letting scumbags live off other people's money was acceptable. When you subsidise idleness and degenerate culture you get more of it.

Instead of defending people like this, give them the kick up the arse they need, get them employed, and the rest will fall together.

Get them employed! Where to?? Maybe the Tories shouldn't have made so many cuts resulting in even more lose of jobs?

Get them employed, funniest thing I've heard in a while.

Poverty does not legitimise this lifestyle choice. It's left wingers like you, who presumably mean well, who have robbed the working class of a sense of responsibility for their actions. It is completely unacceptable and society needs to make that crystal clear.
