Doesn't exist any more - the working class I mean.


Of course they do. How else would you classify a bloke who works in say
a distribution depot on minimum wage (or less if it's some joker of a
company that does "security checks" on your time, not theirs) and
struggles to make ends meet?

The working class of old were all you say, Tim, but they were prepared
to do something about it (like: think. Like: VOTE).

The modern "working class" are far more interested in being consumers of
whatever overpriced ****e that the corporate billionaires push down
their throats, having told them, via the media, wholly owned by their
chums, that this is something they want/need.

A minority of the old Working Class still exist: they run the big
Unions, and they are as much stuck in the 70s as that long-haired hippy
who lives in my neighbourhood. .... except he doesn't do anyone any harm.
