People on this very site are guilty of prejudice against working class people. Anyone from a working class background who's actually managed to make it will be ridiculed for their accent because apparently we're all supposed to try and sound as much like David Cameron or Boris Johnson as possible.

Which government started the right to buy?Right wing government after right wing government have consistently failed the working class and nobody could argue against it. Hold on, it's the white bit that's bothering you, isn't it?

A small percentage of one generation got to buy homes. None of that money was used to build more council houses.

Of course, silly me. They were the ones that had their homes repossessed in the housing crash.Which government started the right to buy?
