Can't help it... it's the way my provincial respectable working class council estate family brought me up...

"Respect education, achievement, and your elders"

.. of course that upbringing & culture also instilled a healthy sense of mockery for pompous self righteous condescending twattery.... 😜


Sadly since the thatcherite destruction of 'labour heartland' heavy industry and social cohesion
in the regions that are now such sinkholes for despair and thuggish xenophobia,
that culture that produced me is now almost extinct....
