And the newspaper which has a good pro working class ethos is...?
the closest you'll get is The Mirror but even that, in the Blair years, supported his attacks on the welfare state

Indeed.
My point, though, is that culture, nay society, is not pro working class. It is therefore a bit strange to blame the working class for consuming it.
Not when they have to BUY it. You have CHOICES in how you spend your money. Private Eye or 3 copies of the Sun and money in pocket of the evil Murdoch
Or a lager at your local scratter pub
Private Eye.
Books.
Anything that doesn't take the piss out of them and charge them for it!

Of course you have choices, we all have. You choose to give your money to sniggering ex-public schoolboys. That isn't better than being interested in soaps, just different.
(For the record, I'm a Corrie fan. I won't do any spoilers here, but I've read something about a storyline involving Ken and Roy that's got me chuckling...)

And if you want a light read on the bus to work, that you don't have to carry back with you, that covers recent news and sport?
Sniggering ex public schoolboys or not, at least you LEARN something. And it's funny
Yes. Because the media has tremendous power and if 4 million people buy the Sun, it gives the govt a mandate to declare war on the unemployed and force through ID cards, invade countries in illegal wars. If all working class people stopped buying it, it would go bust.

Corrie's funny, too.
And today I learned in the Mirror that there are 10 known albino whales in the world.

not a lot of news, and it's owned by the same group as the standard isn't it?

Please draw up a list of products you think working class people should be allowed to buy.

the mirror gave away WW1 dvds a few months ago, had to get enough vouchers and that - they are actually pretty good - you learn stuff

For being out and out offensive to the intelligence it's got to be the Express. The idea that they were still running headlines about bloody diana ten years after her death was enough to make you want to scream, when it wasn't about immigrants, super germs or house prices of course. The mail is awful but doesn't really bother me because it's always been full of right wing shite. The papers that annoy me the most are the indpendent (just excerable) and often the Observer mainly because i read it the most and it's declining news coverage and love affair with Cameron are sickening. You can just feel them getting ready to back the bastard in the next election because the writers all go to the same parties as him.

no working class in the south then?
Actually the Express is probably the only paper you can read the truth about Diana in (although they do go on, and on...)but i'll certainly give you the rest.

The public are very fickle and a large proportion believe what the papers say. For example Brown is no different to Blair yet theres about 20 points diference in the polls.
Typical cockney wankaaah who lavs the San innit?

So, the working class are:
- too stupid to help themselves;
- interested in dumb stuff;
- wife beaters.
I'm not sure your manifesto is going to be too popular.
No. Just Sun readers.
