In the flesh, pretty fucking scary. They have an air of fundamentalism about them, and lots of them haven't a clue what they're saying, and just want to discuss the celebration plans for when Thatcher dies. A fair bunch have some good ideas, and from what I've seen of them, they are nearly all working class.r-r-r-r-r-revleft on class-war wrote:

2) no.......................4
3) it depends.........0
4) stupid question.......3, plus the 9 mentioned above
5) don't know........................0
6) none of the above...........0
lem - I didn't see your vote, no. Post a number from 1 to 6 and I'll include it if I do another count. A couple of people posted comments (pro-schoolteacher) without properly voting. The 'stupid question' crowd are also probably pro-schoolteacher. But they can speak for themselves if they want. As I said, I'm not going to interpret anyone's comment into a vote. You can, if you like. Or check my counting, or whatever.
Obviously there is massive support here for the view that school-teachers are in the working class.
Only three others apart from me (jack, sam, and jambo1) have said they think school-teachers are NOT in the working class. Good on you, maties. And I think there may come a time when you reconsider hanging out with the other types. This is such an important issue, given the huge importance of the institution called school. It just shows how separated many ultralefties are from most working class people, who tend to have more sense than them even when they've never come across an ultralefty leaflet in their lives. I'd wager that none of you three are from middle-class backgrounds, or have jobs involving bossing other people about. Respect!
I won't list the names of those who voted 'yes'. You're probably all much of a muchness.
