No Class In Class

No, of course children should not be free to roam the streets during their lunch break.

But if you need any evidence of the emergence of the underclass, then, to the failure of women to get dressed before going to pick up their children from school in the afternoon (what does it cost to get dressed?), to the failure to put out the rubbish (what does it cost to put out the rubbish?), and to the consumption of ready meals even though they cost more than the fresh ingredients that the people in question have all the time in the world to prepare, you can add the objection to nutritious food even though it is being sold at a very heavily subsidised price.

And just as none of this has anything to do with being poor, so nor does any of it have anything to do with being working-class. Since when was it working-class not to get dressed, or not to put out the rubbish, or not to eat properly? Or, for that matter, not to read books or newspapers?
