    Have a read everybody it is very interesting. Not trying to score points or anything. Have a look on page 10 and decide whiich shape you are. i would go for type B at a glance but possibly partly type c with a small underclass layer ie criminals etc. How about you Howdy and Kerr? I would guess D for you both but may be wrong. Think I would be 2 layers up from the bottom. I would basically be wanting to fight the political corner of the bottom layer for type B.

    Now you know my story Howdy.

    I’m me, Roly. I have no desire to be labelled. Whilst it is an interesting read, I didn’t have the time to get to page 10. Page 1 confirmed my view of things, which is that we have a ‘working class of the mind’ in this country. That accords with my experience of some of the people who I meet in my work and who choose to be dependent upon the state as opposed to seeing what they could do if they tried to better their lot. I wouldn’t like to say how common that mindset is or that the people who I meet are 'typical' of anything, but I detect it quite often.

    There are a lot of people who have been brought up on a culture of claiming benefits. Teachers see the parents daily (I hear this on a regular basis).

    How do you stop this? You have to stop incentivising people to have more children. There are some real scum bags who seem to like having plenty of children. It really isn't difficult not to have one.
