Ralphie, I reckon it's probably easier to categorise people by the newspaper they read. If I can quote the late, lamented Jim Hacker:

"The Daily Mirror is read by the people who think they run the country. The Times is read by the people who DO run the country. The Guardian is read by the people who think they ought to run the country. The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country. The Financial Times is read by the people who own the country. The Morning Star is read by the people who think the country ought to be run by another country. And The Daily Telegraph is read by the people who think it is"

Sir Humphrey: "And what about the Sun?"

Bernard: "The Sun's readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits"
