@@chatham43 I never said they were, but the juxtaposition is worse for the Tories when they say stuff like this. Conservative politicians tend to come from familial wealth, private schools, Oxbridge, and/or consulting jobs in the City.

Badenoch only looked up her whole life. Never down. If there is something universal truth to be said about this then it is "if you are born as a penny, it will be very hard to become a dime".
Apparently, Kemi Badenoch’s father was a GP and her mother was a Professor of Physiology. She has a masters degree in Engineering and a law degree and prior to becoming an MP was at one point a ‘Wealth Manager’ in Coutts & Co, the well know community cooperative bank for the wealthy such as the British Royal family. Working class, really?
She’s middle class and worked hard. A GP father is not some institutional family. But honestly speaking, depending on what age her parents graduated into their esteemed roles, she could’ve actually grown up working class.
So both her parents worked. Making it a working class household, albeit a white collar one. The problem with the vacuous brain donors that clap along to James like a bunch of seals asking for a fish is that they conflate "working class" with the Orwellian typecase of "the proles" because they have their heads firmly up their arses and can't recognise the fact that wealth acquired through educating yourself, hard work, and sensible life choices is different to the landed gentry. Being skint doesn't make you working class, it makes you...well, skint.

“You had to handle MONEY” That’s what most folks don’t understand about ‘rich nobs’ - they don’t ever think about money, or, the cost of anything they want to acquire.
Luxury. I was working class 5-9, got home and was middle class again, then became working class when I feel asleep. When I had to go to the toilet during the night, I was upper middle class.
Her pregnant mother on her way from Nigeria to take up a very lucrative post in America stopped off in London just long enough to take free advantage of OUR NHS for Kemi’ s birth. Those very few short weeks were enough to make Kemi legally British by birth so by that standard I suppose it’s reasonable for her to think a few shifts in McDonalds makes her working class. As I understand it hers was a student job so how many shifts per week, how many weeks in total and how long were the shifts? And once she finished working at McDs how long did it take for her to become middle class again?
Only in the UK would that statement mean anything, this uncritical thinker trying to reboot her working class credentials shows how desperate she is for power, and the more desperate you are for it should disqualify from any kind of power.
So I was bought up working class, my partner now says I’m middle class, she possible has a point… But I know what it is to be working class, not sure one can regress to understand what it is to grow up without, my kids won’t know, they don’t know how could they, they have everything they need.

Not really. There are a lot of people in the middle who don't realise how relatively fortunate they are. The problem is, we talk incessently about billionaires, not even millionaires anymore, that the upper-middle-classes have been conditioned to believe they're 'downtrodden' and 'oppressed' even when they're earning between 50 and 80K pa. It's also (whisper it, socialists) why we have so many strikes among many relatively well-to-do professionals.

I am working class ; in 1961 went to Grammar School and was never considered one of them. Joined the forces as a grunt and later managed to get to university and still not middle class.
I went to a Grammar School (1964 to 1971) and then to Uni, where I got a Degree in Chemistry, the first in our family to do so. Fortunately, many of my cousins have likewise followed a similar path and careers. Many of the parents at my school owned their own houses, I lived in a 2 bed flat in a multi storey council block of flats with my parents. My old school became fee paying in 2016, if I'd ever had kids, I would never have been able to afford to send them there, although I made a reasonable living as a water treatment engineer, owning my own company for 33 years until I retired in 2013. I still think of myself as working class, even though I read the Guardian frequently.

John Lennon went to Quarry Bank High School in Liverpool and failed his O-levels.
He was then accepted at Liverpool College of Art, but was chucked out in his final year.
That doesn't sound like public school to me. But maybe Wiki is mistaken. It was an interesting read anyway.
Yes, John Lennon was as working class as they come.
Have a nice evening.
@@alingard1 Hardly, Quarry Bank was a local State school John attended (some of the time, at least).
I didnt realise when I did my Saturday job (whilst I was still in school), that I was working class. I need to have a word with my parents!
one evening I had fish fingers for tea,next morning I woke up as Capt Birdseye complete with a fully grown grey beard,I was six at the time and on another occasion,my mum gave me some Hovis brown bread (luxury) and dripping sandwiches for breakfast,before I know it,I was pushing uphill an enormous bike up a cobbled street in a town in Yorkshire whilst out of sight,a brass band was playing a mournful tune
@Midnyte-l1q OMG (he says all wide eyed and full of astonishment)Capt Birdseye is a coddie fiddler

I doubt O Brian could define what working class is just like Starmer could not
Unbelievable, the class system I was reminds me of the sketch by by the two Ronnies and John Cleves, the class system sketch, Sams her up completely
That was back in 1966, on the Frost Programme. Still very funny, even today.
Was it Common People by Pulp?
I had a sherry at a Christmas party once, this immediately propelled me from lower working class to upper middle class. I had a few more sherry's puked all over the host's carpet and was ejected onto the pavement outside and immediately back in my own class. 😂😂😂😂😂
I think my Australian is showing - I thought this was going to be "Working Class Man" by Jimmy Barnes
Pulp - Common People? I got to 2.28 in so I had some idea of what she said but hadn't heard the answer.
She's now working class and if you believe that one she'll tell you another one.
When I worked down a coalmine, (whichI did), I considered myself working class. When I had a shift on the surface, I considered myself as upperclass!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes..toilets totally get washed....Kemi knows all about the working class.
You are either rich or poor in this country
Not really. There are a lot of people in the middle who don't realise how relatively fortunate they are. The problem is, we talk incessently about billionaires, not even millionaires anymore, that the upper-middle-classes have been conditioned to believe they're 'downtrodden' and 'oppressed' even when they're earning between 50 and 80K pa. It's also (whisper it, socialists) why we have so many strikes among many relatively well-to-do professionals.
@@GregOrCregwhich is exactly how the establishment like it .
@@GregOrCreg Whilst I agree with your sentiment, the gap between the middle class and upper class is far, far larger than between working and middle. Compared to our top 1% we're all in poverty lol.
@@GregOrCregThe issue is they are, in relation to the % of wealth now being taken by the 1%, they are materially worse off…
I sit within that bracket and appreciate how fortunate I am (I come from a working class background) I’m not opposed to paying more to help others but it won’t be enough, we need the wealthy, those who don’t work for a living to pay more.
Of course nothing changes, Starmer is a stooge, yet another centrist neo liberal put in place by those who pull the strings.
@@GregOrCreg I think the problem in this country is also credit/finance and its impact on how people view their class. People get a mortgage, lease an expensive car and all of a sudden they think they are in the top 1% as well.
James can't deal with the Donations scandal and has to deflect attention back to the Tories. From the Guardian: "Lammy added: “The truth is that successive prime ministers, unless you’re a billionaire like the last one, do rely on donations, political donations, so they can look their best..." Labour MP Josh Simons on Politics Live today claimed Starmer couldn't afford to buy his suits because he's not "independently wealthy". The Prime Minister, worth some £8m who his own name on the statute books for his personal pension. The gall is beyond. One-Term-Two-Tier-All-The-Gear-Granny-Harmer-Kier
Knew it was going to be Common People right from the start hahaha.
McDonald's, McDonald's, Kentucky fried chicken and a pizza hut 😂😂😂
Perfect, no edit. Comedy gold 😂😂😂😂
haha she BECAME working class,another unbelievable tory...
@allangeorge4824 Everyone middle class these days, if you attend Uni, if you are a homeowner and own car....
@allan When did you become working class?
Yes. These are detestable people seeking high office. Same as it ever was.
You can't change class, you are what you are born in to.

I am working class ; in 1961 went to Grammar School and was never considered one of them. Joined the forces as a grunt and later managed to get to university and still not middle class.
I went to a Grammar School (1964 to 1971) and then to Uni, where I got a Degree in Chemistry, the first in our family to do so. Fortunately, many of my cousins have likewise followed a similar path and careers. Many of the parents at my school owned their own houses, I lived in a 2 bed flat in a multi storey council block of flats with my parents. My old school became fee paying in 2016, if I'd ever had kids, I would never have been able to afford to send them there, although I made a reasonable living as a water treatment engineer, owning my own company for 33 years until I retired in 2013. I still think of myself as working class, even though I read the Guardian frequently.
@@paultaylor7082Reading a broadsheet just shows you likely have a degree.
Writing for a newspaper like The Sun is actually harder than writing for a newspaper like The Guardian, as you have to get your story across in the simplest way possible.
Zero self-awareness.
Totally up herself
this is the scary thing about some of these Tory MPs -Boris and Sunak included (Sunak having to go without Sky TV). as you say totally unaware of reality
She thinks very carefully about what she says. Garbage in, garbage out. Thank you Kemi for allowing the rest of us the benefit of your vast dome.
Sue got it wrong with "My old man's a dustman". Was it "My old man's a toolmaker"?
“I am working class. I spent three shillings on Christmas cards “ “I am middle class - I spent two pounds on Christmas cards “ “I am upper class. I put an ad in the Times that we were not sending Christmas cards. The ad cost 25 pounds “ (Ronnie Corbett, Ronnie Barker, John Cleese)
I once visited a stately home. Does that make me upperclass?
This is just amazing, the woman that the political class wants you to believe is super intelligent actually said this. The irony of highlighting how disconnected from the working class by trying to say you are. Absolutely priceless.
I became supreme being for a moment when I realised I had given everyone free will and decided it would be wrong to intervene. Carry on, everyone.

Commence? Have you not seen UK politics in the last decade or so?
