Quote sydtheeagle at 24 Nov 2014 11.33am It amuses me no end that the same board right wingers who were so astoundingly offended by Emily Thornberry's lazy classist remarks last week find Dave Whelan's lazy racist remarks this week so palatable. At least those of us on the left are not hypocrites, and criticise all 'isms not matter the source. Right-wingers, as usual, are not equal opportunity observers. I don't think the Thornberry episode has anything to do with class. She was trying to imply that the sort of people who live in Rochester are your typical flag waving, van driving, UKIP supporting types. It was political suicide because it mocks pride in the English flag and the working man. It was also a demonstration of the sort of middle class, liberalism that the Labour party seems to stand for these days. The implication for voters, rightly or wrongly, is that Labour put the rights of immigrants before those of the average working class white man.

It does show a commitment to faith when you have to behead 100 Christian prisoners, personally, just to appease the old gods. Most people complain about giving up a Sunday lie in.

Also most people mistake upper working classes for middle classes (a moot point, as in a post-industrial UK definitions of class defined by industrial relationships are meaningless).
