I hate the pigeon holing of the class system. A lot of folk look down on the working class but also the working class can judge someone who speaks well and has a bit of money. I'd rather **** just took folk as they are regardless of background, status or career. Im a leftie apparently and definitely socialist leaning but I'll take folk as they come. I don't like a left wing socialists like George Galloway but I respect a millionaire businessesman like the boy who is the CEO of Timpsons.

A very wise stance to take, MOA.

Growing up in a small town, you mixed with folk from all different 'classes' and no one cared.  I see it re-emerge as people get older and mix with those doing the same type of job though.

I don't necessarily see class as a bad thing anyway.  There's a strong case for mixing with your own meaning less jealousy, less competing with your peers and more happiness, but I just don't think it even exists that much now.

I've got mixed feelings about George Galloway. He is like a cartoon character in a way and can be entertaining, but he also makes silly, emotive, soundbitey points.  However, if you hear him talk sensibly then he's a wealth of knowledge and an articulate man IMO.
