   OK - but why were you so derogatory about 'council house wives'? The   
   idea that most married female council tenants are a) stupid and b)   
   battered is insulting, ignorant rubbish. It's the sort of thing right   
   wing middle class idiots come out with, who haven't ever met anyone in   
   the group that they so despise. You should know better!   
      
   (It's also true that some former council tenants who have bought their   
   houses are snobbish towards those who haven't - as are some who were   
   gullible enough to buy very disadvantageous leaseholds on their flats. I   
   emphasise 'some'. My point being that there are snobs in many places).
