From the decline and fall of the middle class and how it can fight back 1977 Patrick Hutber
|
We seem to have two types of middle class in the UK. The first being the traditional middle class which is heavy taxed and abused by government, and which is defending its position in society. The second being the fabian middle class that is relatively wealthy and well educated, but prefers to identify with the "struggle" of the working class. However, be assured that the "new right" is becoming increasingly unsettled and militant and is starting to fight back.
We certainly do not have a classless society in the UK.

Tony Blair (Labour) says that we have a "classless society" and has declared that the "class struggle is over".
