I think that most of the people in the class that I come from would see me as a snob.
That leaves all the rest of the population seeing me as a left wing radical with a severe case of inverted snobbery and a chip on his shoulder.
There are personal standards which I like in people and I have a pretty poor view of those who dont meet them, it happens that those standards are a little more common as you get wealthier or up the class ladder, not because of it but they tend to coincide to a small amount.
So things like cleaning the house, caring what I eat, caring about spelling, thinking beyond my neighbourhood, trying at school, going to University, independent travel, using other languages, not using absolutely diabolical grammar in common speech have somewhat alienated me from the bulk of my class.
So in a way I might share much of Mitchell's alleged world view but from a different perspective, I may even share Thornberry's attitude but it comes from the other side of the class barrier to the side they are coming from, I see the same sort of poor personal behaviour among the rich, new rich and higher class and because of my personal history and attitude I like them even less.
I think that there may be a lot of politicians out there who genuinely who want to do the best for mankind and the poor and disadvantaged of this country but still have to wash their hands after meeting any individual, in person.
What's all that about????
