Sigh. You lot really aren't very good at reading are you? Although that probably explains how you managed to see an unsubstantiated quote about £350 millions pounds a week and decided it was gospel...

The point I was making was in response to Stator, who said:



To which I replied:



So disturbingly I'm actually agreeing with you - and disagreeing with the Bremming who was suggesting that safety regulations don't really matter...

I'm delighted you agree with me. However you failed to comprehend stator's actual comment, so your 'point' was, as per, drivel.

Davis has requested that the EU automatically mirrors any UK standards and the UK automatically mirrors any EU standards, so the current aim is that they'll be identical (the EU will only approve EU->UK mirroring, there's no way they'll let a non-member dictate their regulations, it's be undemocratic and pretty dangerous).

Companies need to comply with regulations of the market they are selling into. There is no obligation on the country itself to adopt the same legal framework.

If you're on the opposite side to working class people and on the side of the rich elites - you are on the wrong side.

This says more about you than you think. Working class kid in the sixties/ early seventies, did well through various labour/ Tory administrations and now finds himself in wealthy late middle age but still clings to an archaic class system and doesn't know what class to pigeonhole himself in.

Get over it - it doesn't matter.

Most young people today don't think about or identify with such outdated notions of a class system at all.

Glastonbury is typical of the domain middle class kids hang out in, class is very much alive unless you're too out of touch to notice. And no it's not about ticket prices, that would be a hugely naive conclusion, many working class people such as roofers I know make more than thier middle class counter parts, and will spend money going to Grime Gigs, Ibiza for the weekend etc. I see young working class black lads in The Selfridge designer outlets paying £700 for a hoodie, this is very common and something they rap about in Grime and Drill tracks which are all about day to day life

When the referndum result came in, all the middle class kids on my FB feed were fuming about thicko working class chavs etc etc

met plenty of young middle class people at the Proms ( in Hyde Park) but literally no working class and no black youngsters

At Tennis you get virtually no mixing of working class and middle class kids in terms of socialising outside of tennis

At rugby it's mostly middle class youngsters. The best State schools here where I live are built around rugga. The bog standard schools tend to have a far greater working class intake. The better schools have a supposedly class blind intake but in reality the middle classes congregate

If you have evidence class barriers are a thing of the past, post it here

That doesn't contradict anything I said.

So the job you do defines your class (roofer in this case) ? I don't get this stuff to be honest.

Herzlos

How do you know they are working class?

I'm not convinced the class structure makes sense, as even middle class is out of reach of most people.

My Aunt is the architype middle class Remaoner. Her 4 children are super middle class and all lefty like her. They talk the good talk in terms of militating on behalf of working class but they have absolutely no engagement with working class folk in thier social settings.

Herzlos

What makes her or them middle class?
