That is part of what I've written. You can have a strong middle class and ignore the lowest 10-15% at the very same moment.
And I just explained to you that we vociferously protested when Gordon Brown did exactly that: pander to the middle class and ignore those below it. We have also protested the Hartz-IV laws, and the policies of the French right-wing government regarding the Banlieues, but also we have had criticism of the way the 35h law was introduced by the Socialists in a way that benefitted the "liberal professions" at the expense of the working class, etc, etc... Do I have to go dig up old diaries for you to read?

No, you have not to dig up the old diaries. I do believe you, as I have know written at least 3 times in this comment section.
It seems I was simply coming at the wrong time to ET to see that. The question is, why do you insult me first, before you let me know this? You have misquoted me to let me look more agressive than what I have really written, you accuse me of bad faith, of trying to divide this community. Why?
Jerome seems to have understood immediately, and - as I said before, in an comment responding to one of yours, to which you again answered -  this was enough for me. I have uprated him. End of story. It seems nobody else has understood my diary in the same way as you understood it.

I guess Jerome has better people skills than I do.

Sorry if I offended you.
