What is "class"? & What "class" are you?

[Sam Slater]

I've not been on the BB thread all night........*cough*

As for Mike: well, it's just a matter of time, surely.

[Sam Slater]

You mean the mods? The thread must surely have been on the brink of deletion. I've just had a post removed because of a naughty smilie on the BB thread. Just a bit of humour -naughty I admit- but Mike's stays put (as did the 'daddy shots' thread.

[Pervert]

Your bit of humour was making a serious allegation of sexual shenanigans, Sam, whereas the Nonce's and the Daddy ones were . . .

Wait a cotton-picking minute.

I do prefer red wine, actually... however, due to past 'experiments', I am confined to drinking red wine only at a)home, or b)with food... the world is a safer place... I'll stick to the spirits whilst in public...

Warren,
In your class system everybody is middle class! Is this what you teach to working class children? You know all those kids that live on the council estates the ones that come robbing the middle class that live near the flats in cosy little houses like yourself. They are the working class kids that you are ?socialising.? You are middle class born of middle class parents, both worked for the state. What else could you possible be in the most class conscious society left on Earth? In your world you have the ruling class who you work for and ?everyone else? your class, the middle class, and the only other class is the under class.
You are a Telegraph reading Labour supporter, and I should imagine a lot more Labour supporters are switching to the Telegraph these days as the former party of the working classes moves more and more to the right and becomes the party of the middle classes. As a teacher you are merely perpetuating the middle class system whereby your class is given privileges for running the machinery of capitalism and the ruling classes.
The main power that propped up the class system in Britain was the media and its power came from censoring knowledge. ?Knowledge is power? and the people were kept in ignorance while the middle classes conspired to treat them as children and trap them within a so called system of democracy. The state capitalist system is coming to an end as the media comes under the control of the people. Desperate attempts are being made to control the internet and to censor it because it is telling like it is with pictures. If we want to know what is going on then we go there on the web!
We don?t need no education? Warren in the future we are all going to classless auto-didacts. And we are going to take back all the land that the aristocrats stole from the people because we need the land to grow food!

Careful, Mike. Warren hails from the ruling class of bureaucrats, intellectuals and Independent readers (although he takes the Telegraph). You shouldn't address him in such an impertinent tone. In days gone by you would have been expected to doff your cap, tug your forelock, clear your throat and only then say "Begging your pardon, Sir..."

Mike, two questions. When do you predict that the proletariat will rise up and take back the Labour Party from the ruling middle classes? And will you be there in the thick of it?

I suspect Mr. Freeman will be in the thick of it no matter what, whether he has the gift of proficy is another matter

"Class?" Class?!

Class is a relic, a memory, an archaelogical, entombed superirioity complex that all too often gets exhumed from Imperialism and The Empire, with it's rotten, decaying corpse of a concept rearing it's ugly head in the modern day. Generally by twats.*

*Not inferring WZR is a twat in this case.

Why? A lot of aspirational Brits are materialistic, insecure and overly-competitive arseholes, and need to assign a 'class' to themselves to:

- delusionally big themselves up (very few folk are actually 'upper class'; even a whopping ?125K per year salary is nowhere near it)

- quantify their self-worth and justify their existence;

- give their sad life meaning;

- gloat at how much better they are than the majority, or the 'masses'.
