It's just that their wages are disgustingly low. <BR/><BR/>Just because you're a member of the so-called 'underclass' doesnt mean you're on the dole or 'scrounging'. <BR/><BR/>My mum was never on the dole and worked full-time since the age of 17 and there are millions like that except that the Sun and the Mail don't report it, so people like you never find out about them.Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876355259363977853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17101458.post-31875049262916216602008-12-08T14:15:00.000+00:002008-12-08T14:15:00.000+00:00John B:Equating, like you say, may be wrong.

The greatest majority of those girls remain single as the feral chavs who impregnate them simply disappear (a kid? responsibility? fook off, will ya?). Those girls are handed out council flats or houses like sweets in a playground.<BR/>Their mates take notice, they ralise how easy it is.<BR/>That creates an underclass. More children, more state handouts, bigger houses.<BR/>Gradually those estates become more degrades. The children grow up and start thinking like their mothers. They never grew up seeing mum and dad toiling away to make a living.<BR/>These people gradually turn into creatures without references that arent the dealer, day time trash on tv and car chases.<BR/><BR/>I admit Karen Matthews is a particularly bad examples. But she is a good example.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17101458.post-17677487655853688692008-12-08T10:40:00.000+00:002008-12-08T10:40:00.000+00:00Not that it defeats your point about the press at ...Not that it defeats your point about the press at all, but might be worth noting that the Gays were <A HREF="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/west_midlands/6411903.stm" REL="nofollow">acquitted on appeal</A> on the grounds that, err, they didn't do it.<BR/><BR/><I>As usual, nobody's saying what needs to be stated in CAPITAL LETTERS: SCUMBAG KAREN MATTHEWS DID SOMETHING VILE.</I><BR/><BR/>Why the fuck does that need to be stated in capital letters, when it's completely obvious to everyone?
