Ok so you twist my arm I try so hard to not even want to make a comment on this white working class who god how gauche that I should be a blogger comes up on question time as I type this. News night !
Well yes I am white working class and 57 retired early due to ill health caring for my aged parents running a car I bought cheep from a breakers yard from those who have better incomes than I can can afford to throw their cars away or if your lucky pick up on free cycle ! I want to be green but I still have to drive 180 miles a week to look after them as they now live in Chelmsford and have done for the past 30 years.
So what do I feel about the BBC White season well It sounds like a good idea but is it just a Bread and Circuses as Rome falls apart from News Night. I watched the debate. I watched the documentary drawn from the questioner they put out.
Well I think that White Working Class of which for want of any thing to say about my self. I am a the grumpy old man representative for. Or at least one of them.
Yes I dont think we are listen to. Yes I think we are the last in the line, Here in our own country.
But! What is different .,….
We all ways have been the forgotten.
We where slaves before our upper class made other nations slaves.
Now that the slaves have been set free and given the jobs of the working class.
The same class who first fought to free them selves,
Then they fought to free the slaves.
For give me I digress .
As Bob crow said after in the discussion first it was the Irish, the Scots and the Welsh. Then the West Indians then the Asians now its the Polish the Lithuanian.
All use by the government and the ruleing class to control the working class.
Who I believe they still fear. They the government and the ruling class’s Its a hang over from the French and Russian revolutions .
Personally I think that the White working class would have been the last defence against the Russian Maffia for them but we just might not be their foot soldiers we may join forces with the Russian Mafia instead but only if the get off their race issue.
As now being British working class a Sean said is no longer a colour issue . The Russian Nevo Aristos buying up the country threaten us all they know a thing or to about union.
I even find my self agreeing with John Gaunt who I use to turn off the radio for. He annoyed me so much.
Margret who hodge the Labour main person sorry MP. for my neighbouring borough just made me want to shout at her too so how could I not side with gaunt John of gaunt was he not a king maker well he works for the sun.
Nick the B.N.P. Griffen looks more like a fat Hitler every time I see him grow the moustache why dont you ? YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO.
My good black British working class friend gave it all a reality cheek with the muslie crunching coffe shop class comment spot on !
Yep the southern neo vogue rich the 30 / 40,000 a year twin income brigade.
Well Culture and Heritage. Comes the cry from the government/ BBC Kirsty side, What is that?
White working class heritage its different depending on the part of the country you come from .
I am white working class. But I grew up in London Catholic primary school, state secondary mod boy. East end born and bread lived in rented with grandparents. Visited with mothers parents Grandad worked for I.C.I they lived in a council house in Billingham County Durham.
Dad and Mum manged to get to buy a house in East Ham. As home owners all of us had to help support the family and raise our aspirations. I am the only one of the family still living in Newham.
The previous generation moved from bow Bromley by bow that is. Part of the local population from the old borough of Poplar as was. They helped with the visit of Ghandi when he came to London to staty at the Kingsly hall. Some working class might remember it.
I am however gay and was so early in my life as the docks was an easy sources of pocket money shall we say.
So much for the culture.
What about the Heritage well the heritage in terms of the bricks and morta is gone to a large extent or has changed beyond recognition .
The genetic stuff well that is Scottish, Irish, Suffolk, Yorkshire ,Lancashire in the last 100 years but back beyond that well Norwegian and Middle Europe , Poland , Russian. Well the males generally sailoras really?
So what do I think of the white working class week I will try and watch it but I still think it may be a false start and just bread and circuses ?
From a relief on question time this week where have we come to that our children are on the streets bring drinking there is some thing wrong with our society well you are not wrong there.
The government is out of touch!
Yes they live in a protected world! Of course they are out of touch!
The best thing the Goverment could do is apologias to the green protester for arresting them and thank them for getting through and showing them up! That might at least show some humility?
Then they should tell B.A.A. That there will be no expansion of Heathrow and reduce the number of business flights by taxing them. That would be a step in the right direction.
ok thats me done folks if any one reads this in uk please feel free to comment
