HEXUS FOLDING TEAM It's EASY
Whilst at uni i wrote a letter to the Liscencing people saying i had a TV, VCR and at the time an N64. I said, "I have these things, i won't use them to watch televsion or record broadcasts. They will only be used for watching pre-recorded tapes and playing computer games." When the inspectors came round i showed them a copy of the letter and the reply i got from them and they were quite happy.

revol68: I have an idea, it's a good one, try this. Instead of being bound within the working class ethic - break out! All you have to do is work for yourself, come up with a good idea or two, work bloody hard for a few years and voila! Instant middle class
Oh, but the guilt, the guilt, no longer will you be able to moan at the terrible injustice of it all cos you will be one of them.
But, on the up side, you'll have a nice house, drive a nice car, be able to afford all the booze you like and upgrade your 9600XT to a 9800XT.
Sounds good eh?
Go on, you know you want to

rev tv licencing is entirely fair. tv is a luxury that you can easily live without, much like owning a car, having new clothes or going out drinking. if everything was more expensive for thosw who were richer then what insentive would people have to do well? i'd suggest you think before you post about the practicalities of your solutions.

also if u continue to pay nurses crap wages were is the incentive to help people when we could all piss off and be merchant bankers...

if everyone was middle class the economy would fall apart....

the middle class are so bloody boring anyway i'd rather stick my head in a blender than drive a people carrier/ 4x4 round Chelsea and read the daily mail (actually the mail is more for working class people who think they are middle class cos they own a mock tudor house and work in an office) or telegraph

There have been some limited successes, such as when Wat Tyler gathered the good men of Kent and Essex on Blackheath to march into London in protest at the Poll tax all those years ago. But he ended up getting topped
To fight the system, you must be within it.
I'm from so called working class parents, raised on a Council Estate in SE London, it's not so bad.
