It appears on the face of it as not fair but once refugess are given status & claim have been accepted to stay they no longer have the legal title refugee & the state has no responsibility they now working class means your on your own with the rest of us. It is what it is.
Joke in one sense - but also an utter tragedy for working-class Londoners who are suffering from the decades’ long contraction in local authority housing provision, as discussed here: policy.bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/estate-regener… & here (with @AnnaMinton): tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

On sunday I visited Karl Marx Hof in Vienna social housing over 100 years old still good quality working class community lots of public transport, washouse, school,shops,art work, gardens good ideas never get old. Why wont the UK provide social housing now?

.@BenoitCoquard ethnography in rural French working class communities "If you dont vote Marine Le Pen you are wanker"
I know Jonny he is a thoroughly decent man trying to stop the bulldozers for 10 years knocking down his community. What is wring with that? Love & Solidarity to all at #Thamesmead

“Class is a summary of countless day-to-day experiences, not all of which involve the expression of aggressive sentiments of identity and conflict.” (Morris 1979: 45)
“Charity chief executives are twice as likely as the wider population to have gone to private school, rising to three times as likely for the biggest charities.” We knew the non-profit sector had a class problem, but even I’m shocked to see the extent of it confirmed by these…
Shocker working class people discriminated against by the middle class and there's no problem at all - no one is calling for a public enquiry, no one has created a # because the middle class are happy with said situation theguardian.com/inequality/202…
This. 1 time a Nottm city (now ex) councillor approached me to try & get me to run a care home he was setting up. Told me lots of money was flowing into care for 16-18 year olds & he would buy houses & just needed "women respected by the community" to run them. Corrupt cunt.

Miner and mine owner David Flack at Hay Royd Colliery, a small private drift, in 2007. So good to see a working mine when most were closed and ‘bulldozed’ from local landscapes. My photograph. Also see previous post. @IMcMillan @IanBeesleyphoto @lynnfinlay1 @PaulDragonwolf1
And yet the University system is sieving out working class students & academics in the arts & humanities to such an extent it may as well be 1937. And heres some people from the Guardian & the telly to make up for still being an elite factory

@Huttoneer @redrumlisa That’s because there was absolutely no investment into loads of those areas, they were left to rot. It doesn’t have to be like that
@redrumlisa @GrahamScambler Because we are governed by social Darwinists? Survival of the fittest appears to be this Tory government's default policy position.
@Big_Jim__Larkin @redrumlisa It was big investment at the time. I'm really interested in what makes some communities thrive and others fail. My gut instinct says size has go to be an important factor. Smaller is probably better. Penrhys was huge ugly and isolated - terrible ideas.
@Huttoneer @redrumlisa Isolation is one issue. But I really think it’s continued investment for the maintenance of both the homes and the amenities. If something breaks or goes wrong it should be repaired within a day or 2.
@Huttoneer @redrumlisa It’s amazing how the Highgate estate in elephant was ran down and there was no investment until people wanted out, but once that land was sold to property investors and posh apartments built, the local area gets all kind of investments. If it’s good enough for them, why not us ?
@Big_Jim__Larkin @redrumlisa Yes - well the people who designed the houses in Penrhys were second raters. Almost immediately there were problems - leaks, high heating bills. The council didn't have the money to maintain them.
@Amy_Welshman @redrumlisa It's a top read @redrumlisa

@redrumlisa Also, in mid 2000s, under Better Homes (?) This flat, my mum's, and my kid's mum all had new windows, central heating (if you wanted), these flats had new roofs etc. I bet it was the same there, so they've seen 'Regeneration' not so very long ago.
