The Classless Society?

Ten years of New Labour and still Britain remains a nation dominated by class. I guess the 8% who disagreed have enough money not to let it bother them.

One interesting finding: Scottish people are just as snobbish as those in the South-East (47% describe themselves as middle-class). And one glaring ommission: how many people calling themselves working-class have actually fallen, often through no fault of their own, into an underclass of sink estates, poor education and benefit dependency? Too many people around here, for a start.
