Wouldn't you have a chipif you were told your friends are going to lose their jobs because a bunch of faceless suits in an office are pissing away millions of pounds on bonuses and contracts to people who can't tell their arse from their elbow?

Yes. It's happened to me before and I've no doubt it will happen again.Suits is suits, management is management - it's not about class.

It's always about class! That's why suits are suits and management are management!They tell us we live in a classless society and yet we can see the chasm of poverty everyday! If they told you you live in a gravityless society would you float to work on cloud9?

Bollocks.I'm middle class, and I'm on the bottom rung of the company. My boss is working class. I have a toff friend who's on the dole. Gone completely are the days of buying your colours and position.
I won't deny nepotism still exists, but that's who you know, not what class you are.
If you have to work, you're working class.

Of course if you have to work you're working-class, but you say you're middle-class!It's not so much what you do but how you view yourself. And your empirical example is far from being the 'norm' especially as you say your boss is working-class how do you derive that especially in the context you are saying we live in a "classless" society? It's you who's drawing up the distinctions not me. Maybe this all stems from the fact you resent the idea of having a working-class boss?

Indeed. Which proves my point that it's not about class.Basically I'm working class as I have to work. However, the likes of Mr Crow will have a pop at me because I'm public school educated, and my parents are a doctor and a teacher.
My boss, however, is the son of a plumber.
Having a crack at me because I am a twat is absolutely fine and dandy. Because of what class I am or how much I earn? Not really.

No you don't get the point, and once again you project your prejudice upon what you think Bob Crow would think of you!It really doesn't matter if you were Public School educated or even if you were born with a silver spoon up your arse.
What matters is not allowing the disintergration of what is the "Working Class" into a tasteless soup of Classlessness! (is there such a word?) This whole idea we should all aspire to be Middle-Class is nonesense and self-destructing. No economy is based upon the Intelligentsia, it is always grounded very firmly in the Working-Class who provide the Services and Manufactor the Goods that we need to run an economy.
This whole Classless Society thing is merely to blind us to that fact and divide the workers and put them against each other rather than uniting to form strong unions to prevent the exploitation of wages and conditions.
Well that's enough from me, and yes I'm one of those Red Militant sorts if you want to know, or haven't guessed. I'm not dragging this out any further.

I don't agree - indeed, I think you're utterly wrong, but we're taking up valuable drinking space.I am more than happy to continue this by gaz, though.

I don't think this will be resolved by going over it any more.You know my position now and I have a good idea of yours. Like you say this is just taking up good drinking time, if I was allowed to drink and drive that is ;)

I'm sure that would be entirely within H&S regulations ;)
