    TI've just examined the definition of Apartheid and it may be a reasonable interpretation of what is happening, according to definitions 2 and 3.

    You shouldn't need to scrabble about on the interet to try and justify what you have written.

    Have some backbone.

    I work far far harder than someone on minimum wage, and get paid commensurately.

    Are you a teacher ?

    That's the sort of completetly out of touch with reality nonsense they seem to think.

    As I tried to tell my kids, you work hard at school and then you don't have to work hard when you have a job.

    that would be illegal

    currently it is legal to pay differently for different jobs and it's legal to charge differently for different products and services

    why does this come as a surprise to you?

    it doesn't come as a surprise. my comment was a joke response to Generali's comment.

    Lol, so true. Or if you're lucky like me, you don't even have to work that hard at school to get good grades.

    If you have the right skills then you will be in demand regardless of how hard you work.

    I know liberal types like cephus in person and whilst they are excellent at virtue signalling and employing a Saintly narrative, in reality they to stick to tribe and have no meaningful engagement with the fabled 'poor', or working class for that matter.


    Some examples would include their holiday choices, they specifically avoid chavvy types and prefer panama hat wearing Guardianistas in places like Burton Bradstock.


    Watching bands - usually of the 99% white middle class variety.


    Restaurants - fair trade Gauva halves and braised endives with polite society conversation. Not a working class oik in sight.


    Cinema - they avoid the poor and the masses of chavs by selecting art house movies.


    Cars - something understated like a Volvo. They wont be seen dead in a chavvy Warrior.


    Childrens names - not a Chantelle or Jamilia in ear shot. They prefer names that communicate good breading. Rollo, Jago, Lucas, Lottie.

    If you can't afford £1m plus to buy one of them then perhaps consider living somewhere else.

    I'm so glad the government is forcing councils to flog all their expensive council houses to fund new homes more suitable for council tenants.

    the Govt and Council should provide NO homes for anyone (except a few disabled people that really can't work). Everyone else should fend for themselves. Especially young girls who get themselves up the duff.
