rich suburb=upper *middle* that is.

landed gentry=upper class.

@redllewellyn Hahaha

hey i think working class people can be very sharp indeed no doubt, prolly more so than any other class cos they NEED to be

I said they weren't educated, there's a difference.

their background is not an education friendly environment, that's all.

He's lower middle class. I'm lower middle class. I know the type.

It's like this *basically*: if you grew up in a housing estate =working class. If it's a private house but on a cheap suburb= lower middle. rich suburb=upper.

@natmanprime hes self educated he got kicked out of school at 15 some of us proles are actually quite clever and the idea that working class people are all right wing is pretty dim especially after whats been going on in the student and trade union movement with socialist jerry hicks coming second in the recent unite union elections with 52000 votes

@RamblinTroubadour cos he seems jewishy, he's educated but with a "not-that-rich" background, he's left wing.

working class are not very educated, right wing and eng er liiish, from housing estates.

same reason you don't find many indian working class.

not to say he didn't hang around with working class i'm sure.

that's my guess anyway

[RamblinTroubadour]

@natmanprime Why do you say that?

[natmanprime]

@odentroll LOWER MIDDLE CLASS

[TheWilliamcale]
