Haven't they anything better to do

It would appear that the politically correct brigade at Westminster have far too much time on their hands. Rather than addressing the fundamental issues facing society today such as health, education and welfare; rather than getting to grips with critical issues such as ID cards, British involvement in Iraq and electoral reform; instead they are concerned with Chavs.

However, before you get too excited at the thought of Chav's being legislated against, a few words of warning...

Liverpool MP Louise Ellman - "I think it is all too easy to label other groups with ugly-sounding words. I think it is negative and not very helpful,"

Ealing MP Stephen Pound - "People who use the word don't understand the joy and confidence in display. They are just jealous that they can't play football as well as Wayne Rooney."

Liberal Democrat MP Lembit Opik - "I do feel strongly that people who think this is a genuine label are really only labelling themselves as snobs."

The daft sods actually feel sorry for Chavs. But as their quotes show, they've completely missed the point (nothing new there). Chavs are scum not because of the way they dress, or because of the bodykit-bedecked Corsa's they drive, but because of their behaviour. They're not working class victims, they're actually sponging class yobs, living on benefits and displaying typically anti-social behaviour.

So come on Lembit, drop your misplaced concerns for Chavs and get back to worrying about the end of the world. You know it makes sense.
