"'My description of working class is someone who wasn't born into wealth and privilege, wasn't born with a silver spoon up their arse, had to fend for themselves in life and nothing was put on a plate for them'." Nice bit of class-warfare-speak. Where are you hiding that red flag, lol@JohnYep me too. Born in the provinces into private rented accommodation until 5 then council house, no heating or hot water unless you made a coal fire which was expensive and a waste in the summer. Labour supporting father on low income in low-skilled jobs but always employed. Mother didn't work. No fridge until I was about 12. No holidays, ever. No help with education at any point. Certainly no old boy network or hand up though father's connections. I think my credentials stand up to the definition. Tell me you were worse off, Paul and I'll have a sob into my porridge.Today I'm probably everything you despise. University educated, middle class (not one of those idiots who cling onto their working class roots as a hypocritical badge of honour), self-employed professional who voted for Thatcher in her first election win and a loyal tory until this year. Fully support membership of the EU and see the positive results that are clearly evident of the benefits to the UK of our membership over the last decades. I also fully support independent education. Am I making a certain someone feel bit feint yet? This elite nonsense is insulting tosh.And then, Paul's fully qualified, royal related, silver spoon clenching mate Boris, gets a free pass. How does that work? Answers on a postcard...
