So I was talking to a group of Danish girls today about Denmark and the UK, and one of them asked about the class difference in the UK (Working class, Middle, Upper ect) as if it's a big problem. So my question is how is the UK's class system seen by the rest of the world? More specifically Europe.
>>
>>67522873
The working class no longer exist, they've been replaced by a dole scrounging underclass.

Thatcher, rather than replace the economies of the northern communities she ransacked, simply put them on a form of life support.

Corbyn will put the council estate wankers back to work.
>>
Yank with a Wank father here...

I was considering moving to england and buying up cheap northern real estate single family houses and renting them out...

Will places like liverpool be shit holes forever, it seems like I can buy a cheap house for about 150,000 pounds and rent the shit out.

The class system is not '19th century'; it has existed arguably since the Roman invasion, but certainly since the Norman invasion.

Democracy is unaffected by the class system. The plebs has as good a vote as the upper class.

>The class system is not '19th century'; it has existed arguably since the Roman invasion, but certainly since the Norman invasion.
I don't think I would agree with this.
Pre industrial revolution, most people used to be peasants.
Its only after that event that the class structure changed to workers, middle class and upper class.
And I think for democracy, the society has to be as homogeneous as possible, and having three distinct classes is no help.
>>
>>67525073
Nope.

The 'merchant class' has always existed too; first called 'villains', 'yeomen' or 'burghers', then evolved into the middle classes.
>>
>>67525210
>'merchant class'
>>
>>67525210
sure, but they didn't have nearly as much influence as capitalists have since the industrial revolution.
And before that change, Aristocrates were the upper class
>>
>>67525073
Different classes have no effect.

Britain has had the most stable government in the world despite the class system. Everyone knows their place in the hierarchy, and everyone mostly gets on with it.
>>
>>67525474
>. Everyone knows their place in the hierarchy, and everyone mostly gets on with it.
Only if you are complacent, there is nothing stopping people from changing classes if you work hard enough.
>>
>>67525544
True, but 99% of people don't.
>>
>>67525474
>Everyone knows their place in the hierarchy, and everyone mostly gets on with it.
let me guess, you are upper middle class
>>
>>67522873

continental Europe is seen as a very igualitarian middle class place, while the UK, while being seen as a very developed first world country, like Germany or Japan, is seen as almost as classist as a latin american third world country.

a place where the difference between social classes is huge, and even people from different social classes have different accents.
>>
>>67525991
Accents tend to be regional rather than class based.
>>
>>67525778
Not him but I'm working class and i can't really imagine what's it's like without a class system. Why's it such a big deal? Germany still has poor people that's we'd call "working class" and well-off people that we'd call "middle class". We just gave them names. It has no effect on your ability to move between the classes or make more money. Unless you're trying to crack into the upper classes
>>
>>67526133
sure, germany has rich and poor people, but those people don't have a culture on their own.
They all belong to the same culture, and participate in cultural events like Oktoberfest, no matter if rich or poor
>>
>>67526171
What makes you think the working and middle classes have different cultures and events? Only the upper class have their own cultures purely because the others cannot afford it.
>>
>>67524159
India has a caste system, not a class system. Now clean my toilet
>>
>>67524284
Tbh, this is mostly true. Working class generally have Anglo-Saxon names in my experience, Celts and Normans end up being the middle class, and then Normans are at the top

Only in very particular wealthy areas.

Both working class and middle class kids go to state schooling and residental areas are neighboring, there really is not much cultural difference.
>>
>>67522873

It was apparent to me when visiting, but the "working class" don't seem to ever work at all so it's very confusing.

Classes have changed, but it's still there.

>there is nothing stopping people from changing classes if you work hard enough.

except public school boys with special privileges,'connections' and mounting university debts

Then that isn't the working class, it's the low/under class.

private schools, """"public"""" schools in Bong, barely exist here, the rich send their children to state schools

we barely have students debt here

only the connections thing is true

it's simple, in England:

upper class : Normans
middle class: Anglo-Saxons
lower class: Celts
>>
>>67528371

Not really. It's more like this

Nobility : Normans/Anglo-Saxons
Upper class: Normans
Middle class:Normans/Celts (Irish immigrants from the late 19th century and early 20th century)
Lower class: Anglo-Saxons

It's true, in fact the real Great-Britain died when the lower classes got uppity and good, reliable servants were impossible to get anymore. That happened after WW II, along with the fall of the Empire.

The last real Brit was Sir Patrick Moore. He died a couple of years ago.

No m8 the indigenous Celts (Britons) are still a majority, of course they've adopted Anglo-Saxon names during the early middle ages (5th-11th century). They're faces show that they're Celts. Think Onslow of Keeping up appearances.

That was what the class system was all about, to keep everyone in place. The middle class was the old upper class, the Anglo-Saxons. Middle class bourgeoisie has noticable West-Germanic/North-Sea-Germanic (=Frisian type) facial traits. Lower class has Celt faces, indistinguishable from Scots/Welsh/Irish.

Public Catholic schools are funded by the government.
Catholic schools are the best schools in the country since non Catholic and Protestant ones tend to be universally shit.
Modern Multicultural Ireland has tons of Muslims and tyrones who want their children to get the best education but Catholic schools have a Catholic children first policy.

The Eu has been putting pressure on the Irish government to make this illegal for years and considering Ireland is so progressive, liberal and EU dick sucking it will pass.

I can agree to an extent that it is not fair but Catholic children get most of their religious upbringing in school and go through the most important religious sacraments such as communion and confirmation through the schools.
There is going to be a lot of Catholic children that will be left out and will make those sacraments solo outside of schools which sucks.

It is something that has been going on for years but this is the end, rather than making it illegal the government should make more non catholic schools outside of Dublin.
They have been putting pressure on RTE to get rid of the angelus even though it has had it religious imagery removed and some areas in Dublin have had cribs removed at christmas.

Middle class people don't go to private schools as much in the rest of the world as they do in England
