More of the Same!

In response to this:

I guess the columnist believes there should be one rule for the well-educated, middle class Ms. Parr and an entirely different rule for the 'plebs' she labels as 'Goody et al'. It defies all logic and carries the stench of the profound class-based prejudice that permeates this society. Oh, and one more thing, doesn't the Guardian purport to be a 'socialist' paper?

Oh Brother!

In response to this:

Like many others I cannot help contrasting the reaction of this columnist to Ms. Parr's ill judged use of the 'N' word with the reaction to the behaviour of Jade Goody et al in Celebrity Big Brother. Ms. Parr is of a higher social standing and is better educated than the three women who were vilified for their actions in CBB and yet the former is judged less harshly than the latter. Is it just me or does anyone else find this ever so slightly illogical? Class-based discrimination is alive and well and living within the pages of that bastion of socialism (Oh, the irony) known as The Guardian.
