Growler, first I don't think it's true (apart from the gravest sin of supporting Gillingham) but in any case it's not folk, that's country.

Second, if you can't even spell "Wayne's World" or "Spartacus" you have a problem. Get an education. Some of the best educated people I ever knew went into libraries to keep warm in the Great Slump, started on Rabelais for the smut, and were still skilled debaters in the 70s. Anyone can learn. Of course, Growler, their politics differed from yours.

Generally ignorance is not a virtue. When you know and understand, you may discard or condemn. Until then you merely display your ignorance. I don't theorise about hairdressing, or assert that a mophead is as "good" as skilled coiffure. If I led the great revolution, and overthrew the government, would I appoint as my chancellor someone with no knowledge of economics? Would I let someone with no maths design a box-girder bridge?

This isn't clubbism or social exclusion. Slumcult does society no favours.
