I was brought up to believe that we are divided socially into classes:
1. Working class.
2. Middle class.
3. Aristocracy.
I also read decades ago that classes were less relevant and were disappearing.
I'm curious as to what others think so here are some questions:
1. What class were you born into?
2. What class are you now?
3. Do you believe in 1 and 2?
4. ie Do you think class exists?
5. Do you think you can move class?
Also, without Googlerating, I'd be curious as to how these classes are defined.
I've tended to think of them as not only to do with our financial situation, but also to do with tastes, interests and education.
With regard to me, I was born working class and ?probably? still am.
I'm Middle Class, the ones who REALLY ARE being phased out; by the Elites.
People have a romantic view of being Working Class, propagated by the Media and Schools. The Middle Class were branded pariahs, from the Sixties onwards.
In 1976, when Callaghan replaced Wilson, Britain needed financial assistance from the IMF. Socialism was no longer working. When the Middle Class elected Thatcher, the applecart was upset. Enter all the Labour-Loving Celebrities from the Eighties onwards.
The whole shenanigans from 2020 existed because the Elites couldn't bear the thought of Right Wing candidates, such as Boris Johnson and Donald Trump, winning elections fair-and-square. The whole thing became a freak show to discredit Non-Progressive Politicians.
"The freer the society, the larger the Middle Class!" (Ron Paul)
Interesting points. I have always felt there was some sort of establishment vendetta to bring down Boris Johnson. Probably because he wouldn't toe the conventional line on so many modern issues, plus he fought against further lockdowns and other measures
He was brought down by media coverage of Partygate, however our current Prime Minister was also fined by the police for lockdown parties yet the media completely ignores that. I think that shows the agenda against him
