Fabian Society & banning the word Chav.

The Fabian Society has called for the word "Chav" to be banned. The arguement is put forward in the context that the word nigger could not be used, before drifting off into Guardian like leftie la la land claiming that it is middle class hatred of the white working class.

In short complete and utter monkey spunk! Chavs are mocked by folk of all classes, hell chavs come from all social classes. As for the bit about it being hatred of the white working class, well first off a lot of them do not work, oh and quite a few are not white either.

Not sure if it is dirt or if they are the "brown babies" from the classic Cathy Burke skit with Harry Enfield:

The term is widely used is slang for a young person of low social status, often wearing designer sportswear.

The Fabian Society doesn't like that, Tom Hampson (Fabian Society editorial director) believes that the term betrays a deep level of "class hatred" and is "deeply offensive to a largely voiceless group".

**The "chav" is nothing to do with class hatred, indeed chavs and the chav look is spread across social groups. Many people choose to wear the chav look with pride, fuck knows why but they do and that is their right.

As for voiceless, well hardly. Tv panders to the chav, hell people like Tricia Goddard has made a damn fine living interviewing them(for those who don't know who she is, think a black American Jerry Spinger and you get the gist) as have many others.

The UK sitcom "Two pints of larger" was based on chavs, so voiceless is utter rubbish.

I hardly think that the knuckle dragging, larger swilling, wife beating, feral child rising, benefit drawing, council estate living, unable to string a sentence together in the Queens English chav is going to be giving a proverbial "flying fuck" quite what the Fabian Society thinks.
