    Nice propaganda, but why didn't it show white working class kids ie the majority instead of middle class college kids. If that experiment had been done at Spurley Hey when I was at school not many of us with ALL our white privilege would have moved more than a couple of steps.
    Just a thought.

    You are right, white working class families in this country are disproportionately disadvantaged, and I support all movements in favour of equality there too.

    Nobody is saying that life for white working class families isn't hard, just that being white isn't one of the things also making it harder.

    I went to Spurley Hey (as Clifton Upper) too.

    How can you tell what social class these kids are from just by looking at them?
    Is there a badge somewhere that I've missed as I did notice none of the kids had their trousers arse hanging out & looking like street urchins

    Listen to the video, the big clue is in the questions and the steps they took afterwards. A tip for you Exile don't just look at the pictures.
