Make Yourself Comfortable

Lynsey Hanley, very good on the BBC's degeneration into segregation, proleface, how clean is your arse and suchlike: It seemed that every day's lesson to the masses was this: working-class people live on grey council estates and shout a lot; middle-class people are snooty and frosty and only truly human when shouting a lot like those people on council estates do; and there's nothing in life that can't be solved by a visit to B&Q. Bit about the mooted revival of Tomorrow's World for reasons of 'fun' and 'nostalgia' is especially acute.
