the misconception that the UK has become a classless society

ROTFLMAO

You obviously don't think so, but who in the world can possibly hold that view? The UK is the country I've lived in where class is most painfully obvious.

A vivid image of what should exist acts as a surrogate for reality. Pursuit of the image then prevents pursuit of the reality -- John K. Galbraith

It's another bit of propaganda in a way. We are now a classless society - all can achieve whatever they wish to achieve since they are no longer trapped by class and anyone with enough drive and talent can be whatever they want to be.  If you fail, it is your own fault. Thank you Thatcher.
