    Hehe, I’ve always thought she was a bam but now she’s proving it on the telly. And to top it off, her voice sounds silly.

    You should watch it for a giggle, at someone who thinks they are still working class when they live in a house with a swimming pool and koi carp pond, plus the earn 150k a year writing for the Times, because she likes Heinz salad cream.

    It’s rather hilarious, and it’s fairly obvious she has no idea what a chav really is.

    A lack of knowledge doesn't tend to stop many so called journalists. She seems to specialise in it.

    She's desperate to turn it into an issue over middle class identity issues, rather then troublesome little oiks.

    I wonder if there are other countries in the world, (other then those which adhere to the caste system) who will not let go of the ideas of class.

    Ach, that's just your oppresive middle class opinion of the socialy excluded.

    Ooop. And now its a sexism thing. Apparently all the attention is focused on the chav girls.

    Man, she is so out of touch with the world.

    The silly cow.

    I was immensely glad when Guardian Weekend got shot of her. She was only there to wind people up the wrong way with her bullshit.

    She's one of those writers that you just think must've sucked a lot of cock to get where she has....

    Yes, a succinct and accurate observation I think.

    Didn't watch the proggy, one of the first times I've actually been glad NOT to have Sky

    I watched this last night and I was SOOOOO wound up afterwards!

    The woman is an absolute tit! She has absolutly NO idea what a Chav is OR why they're dispised!

    There was one chap, forget who though (Late thirties, glasses?) who said quite a lot of good points, and she was SERIOUSLY riled becuase he was hitting the nail pretty much on the head, and she had fuck all come back. Amazingly enough Vannessa Feltz was also making some good points and this journalist woman had no come back at all.

    Prick.

    On the plus side, the Mrs said something that made me laugh.

    "You know how you get a flock of sheep? Maybe it should be a Chav of Sheep."

    Heh.

    She was also listing people as "Chav" who aren't even fucking Chavs!

    FFS...

    /steams.

    Your missus is correct, it's very odd behaviour.

    Thing is, she missed what was probably one of the main points Chavs are so fucking despised and trodden down by the rest of us folk - it's the criminal element. I doubt anyone would give a flying fuck what Chavs got up to if it didn't involve singularly pissing off the rest of the civilised world. If they sat at home and knitted, made crochet bobble hats or played that weird magnetic fishing game would anyone even know they existed? I doubt it. They are hated and despised because they are a complete fucking pain in the arse from the moment they wake up from their white lightning-sized hangover sleeps to the moment they've kicked in their last telephone box and passed out in a drug and booze fuelled torpor..

    (can't you tell I'm trying to get a job at the Daily Mirror?)

    I believe the key point that she missed was the fact that Chavs respect NOTHING. They don't care about anything but themselves, and occasionally, other Chavs.

    The biggest word in their vocabulary is I. Or Me, if they've been educated to use 2 letter words. (Sorry, that was a bit low)

    Her and Tracey Emin. If there were ever a couple of people (who just happen to be women) that need sticking in a decompression chamber together, then that dial turning way into the red, it's those two...

    I do agree with her on one point though - Beckham IS king of the chavs.

    Tracy Enim was on this prog last night, as it happens, celebrating her "chavness".

    Grrrr, must not smash television.

    She's a chav wannabe, while she's churning out art and trying to do something with it, she's nowhere near Chaverity.

    Aye, accoridng to Burchil not only is she a chav, but so is Kate Moss...

    Now, if I got hassled by a bunch of oiks that looked like her maybe it wouldn't be so bad but...

    No wonder Birchill went lesbo for a while, musta been sick of the taste of sweaty old cocks by that point.

    I hear she was doing the same spiel on Womans Hour the other day. That proves it - if she has any connection with the daft bloody posh bint that is Jenny Murray she can't be a chav.

    Still, at least her having that voice proves that God has a sense of humour.
