This is a great look at Britain's working class and what made them think the way they do, what gave them their identity and how they are often underestimated. I identified with so much of what was included here and could see a lot of my own community. I really enjoyed this book.

This is a super fascinating insight into the British working class and the disadvantages they face. Very well written, especially when considering privilege and disadvantage in the context of/comparison to other groups.

For me, this book was a real eye-opener. I only knew the working class world from my own personal level but it showed me a deeper, more human side far beyond the negativity the media portrays.

This book looks at historic and demographics of the British working class detailed and uses case studies to highlight characters of different places within Britain where some have several problems ranging from several issues from poor housing, education and employment. The book attempts to discuss the modern white working class without trying to belittle them.

This is such a thought provoking (and timely) read. Intelligently smashing famililar stereotypes and offering an alternative narrative of Britain today.
