wednesday1 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I hardly think the opinion of one Essex boy makes that much difference. The membership is totally across the board. If you don't believe me just ask our Chairperson...Labour MP Kate Hoey who represents the inner city seat of Vauxhall Hoey is disgrace to the party.

Uptowngirl Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Hoey is disgrace to the party. No. You are mixing her up with the others. She's the one who isn't in jail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose that's where you get it from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister M Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 why do people get annoyed by others being middle class:loopy: Most of the country is middle class, Im not convinced the people claiming to be working class aren't in the main middle class! It makes me smile the way that some (usually right wing) commentators use 'middle class' as a term of abuse. For example in the recent student protests, the Daily Mail and the like were foaming at the mouth about all these priviliged kids demonstrating and protecting their own interests. Mark Steele, the Independent columnist did a great article on this. http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/mark-steel/mark-steel-michael-goves-guide-to-social-class-2141933.html# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't believe me just ask our Chairperson...Labour MP Kate Hoey who represents the inner city seat of Vauxhall MWAHAHAHAHA!!! First off, I'm Sheffield born & bred, therefore not an Essex boy, although I'd be interested to know what you have against Essex boys. Do they count as "rif-raf" too? Secondly, I'm giving you my personal experience, not my opinion. If that doesn't tally with your theory then quite frankly tough. Experience trumps theory every time. My opinion as it happens is that it was a complete waste of time banning fox-hunting, but whatever my sympathies, the fact remains that this was and remains an upper class issue. No point in pretending otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoatwobbler Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Why would you be the ones protesting? You still get your free money. Its the people who work who are affected, the ones you call "middle class" have jobs, have to pay tax. Actually, tax avoidance does have an effect on benefit claimants. If people are not paying their taxes there is less money to help the worse off, and ultimately that result in benefit cuts. Therefore it does affect benefit claimants, or indeed anyone who uses public services as it results in less money for these services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
