I just want everything to be ok

@meadwaj The more accurate split for socio-economic status these days is actually ABC2/C1DE. I probably don't need to tell you that, but it needs saying.

@OKraftman @arjan____ Nationalising mail, rail, buses, water, energy.

@MarxistSoccer What if your a leftist that opposes GMOs because you don't believe in IP laws and are worried about the effect of disease on homogeneous crops, and prefer renewables to nuclear because they can more easily be decentralised? Asking for a friend.

@ta_mills Could you fucking imagine if Corbyn threatened the BBC for their blatant and consistent bias these last few weeks?

[ManicDave @manic_dave]

@edcurwen @inthesedeserts @ChrisMasonBBC @BBCFrediani It's not that big of an effort though. If it takes five minutes to plant a tree, it works out at like 4000 full time jobs spread out across the entire country

@davidgraeber Does anyone have any raw data from these polling companies so when can calculate intentions on realistic likelyhood of voting?

@AaronBastani This is the guy the NRS defines as working class for the sake of tory propaganda, when any sensible economist would put him down as middle class and marxists would call him petit-bourgeois. I'm not hating on the guy but it's important to understand the misdirection.

@davidschneider @Baddiel I don't speak Yiddish and only a little German. My mum's parents were refugees in the war though, so in my family any German name is instinctively pronounced correctly, especially when reading. I doubt it's a particularly rare trait to not always use the anglicised version.

@simonmaginn @bbc5live I'm guessing that's because they were too busy talking about getting a trade deal with the guy that attended Sinn Fein fundraisers before the good friday agreement, right?

[ManicDave @manic_dave]

@Common_Sense_G @ThinkOnNow1 @GuidoFawkes OK so if that's how it works. If I'm an electrician earning £50k a year, am I in grade A or grade C2?

[ManicDave @manic_dave]

@Common_Sense_G @ThinkOnNow1 @GuidoFawkes That's not wage determining class that's, that's their calculation for average wage of people after splitting them into their defined categories.

[ManicDave @manic_dave]

@Common_Sense_G @ThinkOnNow1 @GuidoFawkes Send me a screenshot of that because I can't find it.

[ManicDave @manic_dave]

@Common_Sense_G @ThinkOnNow1 @GuidoFawkes I've got a better idea. Show me the NRS referring to white collar work as working class.

[ManicDave @manic_dave]

@Common_Sense_G @ThinkOnNow1 @GuidoFawkes It's nothing to do with a narrative. NRS defines all white collar workers as middle class, regardless of what the wikipedia page for working class says. NRS didn't write that page, they wrote their own definitions which don't align with the Wikipedia page for working class.

[ManicDave @manic_dave]

@Common_Sense_G @ThinkOnNow1 @GuidoFawkes That's a wikipedia page for "working class". What's written on that page is nothing to do with the NRS grading.

[ManicDave @manic_dave]

@Common_Sense_G @ThinkOnNow1 @GuidoFawkes It's in my first response to you

[ManicDave @manic_dave]

@Common_Sense_G @ThinkOnNow1 @GuidoFawkes Nowhere on the NRS page does it refer to white collar as working class. There's no general working class there either. C2 and D specifically refer to manual labour.

[ManicDave @manic_dave]

@Common_Sense_G @ThinkOnNow1 @GuidoFawkes You linked a different definition. Why don't you understand that?
