No it isn't. Culturally in general middle class people (or rather people from priovileged middle class homes, and have had public schooling etc) do not understand what it is like to be born into a poor background. They may sympathise, and be around it, but they aren't of it.
I am not a Marxist, and therefore don't resort to a small defintion to describe myself as working class, like some here do. The "average" working class "lad" or "lass" off the street can small a faker a mile off.
