Many people claim to go on "survival courses/ trips" on these remote islands and fork out money and then have a overly developed sense of achievement which they then brag about.
Especially those posh upper class ***** who say "oh i'm off to the island of (insert name) so and will camp there for (insert number of weeks) and test my survival skills"
I say to all of you, get away from your nice green middle class suburbs and private gated estates and go live on a dangerous council estate, and see how long you survive.
You pathetic lot wouldn't survive at all, you'll be scared so much you'd have wet your pants and probably have all your belongings stolen.
Psht "survival course", go do a "real" survival course here instead, and face the reality that millions of people face every day, now that's a much bigger achievement.

Mods don't take this down, let me explain, I am not insulting those who live on council estates, since there are many nice ones which have nice people including those even in so called bad estates. I am merely explaining a stance of how hard it is to grow up in a council estate and succeed in life compared to these upper classes who have had many more money, resources, stable families, very little crime etc. And so when they say the words "survival trip" it is trash because this council estate living is real survival.

unlike you posh upper class people. Glad you learned something.
And just for that comment both get gangs and gun shots through the doors and both have criminals.
Don't make light heart of this.

People on hard council estates don't claim to live there for "survival skills"

Harder to survive on a deserted Island than it is living in a 3-bed council house with weekly GIRO payment.
Here's the beautiful estate I grew up on and survived:

you should watch 'Peckham Finishing School For Girls' which was a BBC3 series that I think kinda ties in with this. it was posh girls mixing it with the ruffians of Peckham. there was also a Geordie series set in some rough-ish part of Newcastle.

Nobody would choose to live on a council estate though.

Actually despite what you may think, living on a council estate does not toughen one up, many yuufs from these estates are just as inept at navigating the demands of daily life as their better off equivilents in the suburbs. The only difference being, that the middle class are encouraged to do better for themselves and the council estate lot are encourgae to find anyway possible to get extra ANYTHING.
I grew up on a housing estate in London, and I assure you none of the people who thought they were big and clever as teens were, or are today, however they are all in their lates 20's with at least one child, sometimes I think getting removed from the family home was the luckiest thing that ever happened to me ... in fact I know it was.
In my late teens I spent a few months in a nice little village in Kent while I was waiting to join the army and witnessed the exact same studpidity from elements of that village as was pretty prevailent back in London.

Survival bah don't make me laugh, if the dole office closed tomorrow half of them would starve within a month, the other half would turn on each other and sell their sister for a ounce of weed innit.

Clearly there are going to be exceptions but I still believe the majority would not live on a council estate if they didn't need too.

But most people are not given a choice though. Their situation means they cannot move up the social ladder. If your offered a better lifestyle for your family I would say it is pretty selfish not to take it.

Not always the case.

Can everyone stop with the classism? Not all middle class people are snobs. Not all people living in council estates are stupid pikey scroungers.
