Mr Hampson, writing in the quarterly Fabian Review, argues that the word chav is 'way above' the threshold of acceptability. 'It is deeply offensive to a largely voiceless group and - especially when used in normal middleclass conversation or on national TV - it betrays a deep and revealing level of class hatred.'
