I think what pisses me off most about middle class intellectuals is their partisanship.

When i was a teacher in the ineer ring of Brum, I saw lots of kids sucked into a life of crime and ....prison, unemployment...and really no one had any sympathy for them. they were working class kids, often without the influence and exampleof a father, who went out to work.

And then came the drugs....do the middle classes not see any connection between the coke they sniff, the pills their kids pop...and those kids with knives that are regarded as feral vermin by the middle class commentators?

And look at how how the disadvantaged kids responsible for the jamie Bulger murder would have been lynched by a howling mob. And no great care seems to have taken over their rehabilitation.

And yet this young lady. she seems to have won your hearts.....poor dear, groomed to join a gang of international murderers, torturers, severed heads - just part of the furniture, probably belonging to no one important......

you left wingers don't seem very left wing to me. .
