One can get very bored of a select group of hate figures - Nick Cohen, David Aaronovitch, Ann Leslie - so it's good when another one comes along, especially one as cretinous as Deborah Moggach. According to Moggach we are all middle class now; the working class has all made so much money from council house sales or the rise in taxi fares (they all drive black cabs don'tcha know) that is has decamped to the Costa del Sol. Of course, concedes Moggach, one shouldn't forget there is an underclass and let's not leave chavs out of the equation (great, let's get all the snobbish bases covered). Moggach - in a way that seems typical of simpering upper middle class pundits - finds the first appearance of 'chavs' in the work of Jane Bleedin' Austen.
Shut the fuck up. Wittering, solipsistic arseholes like Moggach make me want to throw up ( or seek out my nearest AK-47 vendor). Only those whose social orbit is restricted to Radio 4 studios, independent production companies, the Groucho and being flown Virgin Upper Class to New York - for a premiere of Pride and Prejudice as Moggach crows on her website - could come out with this crap. Has she never been further East than Farringdon Road, further south than the Embankment?
Bastard.

I'll have you know, the social orbit of radio 4 studios includes coffee stains on the baize table tops, stale water (chateau legionnaire, don't you know)and john peel's old cans.
