Happy Face 29 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I think income is a crude measure of class (yes I'm off the chart) and think it's more about upbringing. I fully accept if I'd had kids they'd be deemed middle class but still think of myself as working class. Aye, but I think when people who earn more than the majority are outraged that the majority would vote to exit because of the impact on the economy, they're not following how little the economy means to to the significant number who have literally fuck all to lose comparatively.

I agree with the "you can't frighten somebody with financial insecurity when that's all they know" pov but that shouldn't apply across the board - I wouldn't call Nissan workers financially insecure.

Christmas Tree 4005 Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 Are you working class? http://www.ifs.org.uk/wheredoyoufitin/ I get the impression most on here would fall in the peak decile or to it's right.

Kevin Carr's Gloves 3285 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 you have a higher income than around 93% of the population - equivalent to about 58.5 million individuals. I still consider myself working class but my kids are definitely middle class. But middle class Scottish so that's like working class English.

Rayvin 4972 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Having kids seems to play a big part in it, actually. I moved down a whole decile for my hypothetical children. I think it should take your region into account as well mind, since an income set at a certain level in the NE goes a lot farther than an income set at the same level in the SE. Although I guess they'd argue that the after tax income is the same, and that you choose to pay a premium to live down south, thus making it a lifestyle choice.

Renton 18188 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 It's a load of shite. Doesn't take into account assets or any essential outgoings except for council tax. I may be in the top 10% for income but I'be nowhere near the disposable income of CT, in the bottom 7% apparently. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we may be witnessing the birth of Torytubby's latest hobby/moneysink. *Later, recovering from the lunchtime kebab...... " hmm, stained glass windows..... wonder how much" A fortnight down the line.... " Hey Guys! I just installed my first stained glass windscreen on the taxi!"

Rayvin 4972 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Is it not a group of people judging each one independently? Rather than choosing between the two? Either way it's irrelevant - comres will have its own interests reinforced here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Just a bit of statistics humor there Sorry. When asked if they were "nasty" i'm not sure the responders interpreted the question the same for Corby and May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
