Default Kill chav scum!

claims think tank


The word 'chav' is a weapon of class hatred and should be banned, Left-wing academics claim.
The Fabian Society believes the term, a common derogatory expression for a brash white working-class person, is offensive.
Tom Hampson, The Fabian Society's editorial director, said the word chav must be banished from enlightened circles.
It should not be acceptable to anyone who believes they are 'progressive' in their politics, he said.
'You cannot consider yourself of the Left and use the word,' he added.
'It is sneering and patronising and, perhaps most dangerous, it is distancing, turning the chav into the kind of feral beast that exists only in tabloid headlines.
'This is middle-class hatred of the white working class - pure and simple.'
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.'

Who cares? Chav's don't? Does a Chav even know who the fuck the 'Fabian Society' is. They might if they are worth burgling. Does a Chav know that this society is representing them? Doubtful.

What have chav's got to do with WORKING?

When did chav's become voiceless?

They always seem perfectly capable of expressing themselves to me... Normally using terms I wouldn't use in polite company, but I think THAT is more the defining quality of the grouping...

EXACTLY. I mean every time Incapability Brown opens his gob it is to talk about single parent "families", "Criminals", and other sorts of bastards.

They get more attention than any other group, except immigrants, you can think of.
