Money doesn't change ones class.

What an utter load of bollocks! Take out the landed gentry and the rest of us are very much in a society where money and/or privilege very much drives your status. If your telling me that a £124k salary doesn’t put you in a privileged position ur deluded. Pricks like Lynch and his other Marxist chums just love to stir up this “them and us” class war shite, he even hints that its all about bringing down the Tories.
These strikes are just what the country needs to help us out of the economic train crash that’s about to hit (excuse the pun), wage-inflation spiral, take us straight back to the 70’s. Train drivers on £60k salaries…working class my arse! So in answer to Mark J question… I don’t like what he says, and I personally think he’s just a militant Marxist Cnut. Rant over!

All of this under a Conservative government!

 

Lads around here are £250/300-day laying bricks, I'm not knocking Brickie's, but are they working class, of course they are, they haven't changed because they've got more money.

£60k is very much a working class wage though. We have just grown far to used to living on slave wages. If you take the traditional mortgage being three times your salary £60k does not even buy you an ex-council house these days. With the cost of running a car, utilities, food etc £60k will not afford you anything over a very basic working class lifestyle. Long gone are the days that an average working class man could support his family on a single wage. To think people these days thinks £30k is a good wage would be laughable if it was not so sad.
