The subject being whether class is self inflicted, the only thing stopping you involving yourself in anything at any level is that you're scared to say stuff in case you get out of your depth and you think you'll be ignored, but you won't UNLESS you doubt yourself, which is why you're so ****ing rude whenever you think you can be. That's your obstacle, not class.
I have commented on a few of your posts. Granted I haven't bothered to challenge you on your 'facts not opinions' that are still just opinions. Nor have I responded to your pathetic boasting about who you have met and how you conform to the social mores of those with a privileged upbringing. I disagree with your characterisation of socialism. I disagree with your dismissal of unearned social and economic advantage as a factor in determining life chances. I strongly disagree with your view that critics of Boris Johnson are jealous of his (?) success, rather than contemptuous of his self-centred dishonesty, incompetence, laziness and amorality. I didn't want to get into a protracted exchange on all that - I assumed you were either on a wind up (in which case don't feed the troll) or else serious (in which case it was kinder to ignore it).

You on the other hand have consistently come back to attack the poster(s) not the post. You are pompous, snide and abusive - whilst posturing as a well-mannered victim - which seems to be one reason why so many good posters have got you on ignore. Whatever your views on the relevance of class in modern Britain you continue to demonstrate (in its' other meaning) total classlessness. Well done!
