The middle classes are better adapted to getting away with their stupidities, of course, as they have wider vocabularies and posher accents.<br /><br />And to pick up on your point and expand on one of my own a little, maybe. The working-class folk whose tribal instincts were so handy in the First World War were ordered to walk to their deaths by upper-class generals. My own relatives were among the tens of thousands sent to their deaths by an old boy of my former college, one General Douglas Haig. Crass stupidity and thoroughly upper-class.Archdruid Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11849759985107161674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795284845836270713.post-58571577118851227082012-01-29T17:29:52.943+00:002012-01-29T17:29:52.943+00:00I agree with this sentiment but I think, especiall...I agree with this sentiment but I think, especially in the last paragraph, you stray into suggesting that stupid things are a result of being working-class.

Different people express their stupidity in different ways; middle-class racism exists but is slightly more subtle.Steve Tilleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17400505989949096631noreply@blogger.com
