Choosing to privilege those attempting to silence a working class voice on the basis that they wear clothes is ugly.

Buy cheap and buy twice. Better for poorer people to get shirts from Primark and throw them away 3 months later?

I didn't claim he said they were.
The video has been viewed more than a million times, and - as is the nature of everything that's ever been posted on the internet - there's a few sniping cunts in the comments. It doesn't mean anything though treelover. You really need to get out of the comments sections, they're bad for you and they are totally meaningless.

Messy Crimbobs, fellow humans.
I didn't claim you claimed he said they were.
there is a discussion on this part of the forum about a single tweet which has has many hundreds of comments and much much more views, i have seen discussion on here which dwell on what other people have said on other fora, so forgive me if i spend a couple of seconds poosting about something that while not huge in the scheme of things, may have been better if there had not been a hostage to fortune.
and for the purpose of clarity, i am no fucking way endorsing those who are attaacking the guy's clothing on any grounds whatsover.

Fuck you.
You got there first though didn't you? In before the right wing bloggers you're obsessed with.

You were given the opportunity to be clear about what you thought about this pathetic, superficial point that you chose to highlight...and decided to play the cunt.
That's why folk told you to fuck off.
So fuck off with your bleating.

I don't know what you are referring to about the tweet, but the only times I can remember stuff quoted by a poster on other sites being brought up was to challenge posters that were making particularly vile racist/sexist/homophobic comments, e.g. MeltingPot. It and was not just in order it was a good thing that it was made clear to that they were no longer welcome on U75.
You've got a really weird understanding of what the working class is if you think wearing an item if clothing that's been ubiquitous across the class for 50 years is a 'hostage to fortune'. Being working class doesn't mean you can't like nice clothes. It doesn't mean that you can't prioritise your spare cash so you can afford to occasionally buy clothes from somewhere other than Asda, or buy them out of a catalogue and spread the payments over a few months. It doesn't stop you from looking in the January sales and picking up a bargain, or buying second hand off Ebay, or from a charity shop (I saw three Fred Perry's for a couple of quid each just yesterday).
It's not a hostage to fortune, it just demonstrates how little those few people complaining actually know about the working class. It says a lot about them though.

treelover while I do find you exasperating at times I am glad you are back posting on U75 and I don't want you to fuck off.
But I would you advise you to read KB's posts carefully, they are absolutely on the money. We can all get stuck in web bubbles (I'll admit I have been at times) but you really need to stop taking comments by a couple of wankers on the web as representative of wider society.

Careful, the next slur out of the box is the "not working on a Sunday?" one.

Wearing fred Perry or Lacoste or whatever isn't middle class or privileged or posh blah, even when you've paid full whack and haven't got it from a charity shop or on the never never. Fucks sake. The middle class people who wear FP do it to try and appear working class (which may be a more accurate criticism).
Being middle class or privileged is worrying about the pension lifetime allowance or whether you'd be compromising your politics to send your kids to a fee paying grammar not having clothes that don't all say George in them

It's all been said treelover, but there's just one thing I'd pile on about. It's the idea of a 'hostage to fortune'. The logic of that is that you should police yourself and plan the presentation of yourself in terms of audience reaction or, even worse, the reaction of your enemies. At one level, that's doing politics as a form of PR - not good. But it also get's you into a self editing paranoia, even further away from straight talking.

I've just blundered in here. But £75 on a *shirt*.
I mean, if that's your super-favourite shirt that you saved up for, fair enough.
Knock-off you got down the market - again, fair enough.
When I was on benefits, though, being able to buy clothes even second-hand was a struggle. This stuff resonates. The stuff the guy actually *says* can be negated if it looks *fake*. We need to do better.

Also being working class and being poor are not necessarily synonymous.

I bet he has a big telly too.
Working class is not a synonym for on benefits.Wearing a fred perry polo does not make someone look fake. The only people whining & moaning about this are dickheads who don't know anything about the working class.

Quite there are plenty of working class jobs paying 30k+ a year. In fact it is jobs that some people might still see as middle class that often have the lowest pay.

Is a fair point, but thinking about the lines of attack those on the right will take is just a sad necessity.
