who cleans their toilets in those developped countries? It`s Mexicans in America and Turks in Europe. If people like AE are from the working class, what are these people?
What I am saying is that there are few people who don´t work.
Don´t worry, our government is slowly but surely rectifying that one 
The days of the class system are over. People have equal opportunity whatever their family background. People are all merging into what used to be the "middle class".
I agree, in general, life is better for many and there is the "Education for All" ethos but the divide is made in more subtle ways nowadays. The children that live in the large town where I work don´t have the same high school educational opportunities as the children in the small town where I live and I´m not only talking about the grammar school system. In the large town I´m talking about, opportunities are better if you can get into a faith school or have the money to send your children to a private school.
I wonder what kind of message this gives to those children who don´t have the wider choice. It can´t do much for their self esteem. Of course there are those who are determined enough to make it, whatever life throws at them but there are many children leaving school with little to show for it and it´s not all their fault. It´s the adults that cause the problems in the first instance.
Anyway, I would say class is as much about one´s political view or mindset as it is about how much money one has or whether or not someone has a job.

We all have to go to the loo . . . I see your point
