to think poor people shouldn't have opinions?

[Hullygully]

Frankly they can't afford them, nor know their value.

Only a small one to start with. Perhaps on feature walls, the value of?

Please can someone help me. I think I am poor but I don't know for sure, so how can I make an opinion about whether or not I should have opinions.

I am quite fat and have been on a diet (two days and still going strong). If I lose the weight and stop shopping at Iceland will I be able to have an opinion? I don't know if I'm poor or not but I do have a flat screen telly if that helps.

Babylann - ask the nanny to open the door so you can see if you have 2012 registration plates on your cars.

If you can't do that you are poor.

What a terrible world we live in! We have a conservative government and a pasty tax and still the smelly oiks walk around with no shirts on! Tans are so working class...

Fat people deffo can't have opinions, they need to put all their limited energy into losing the lard. We'll get back to you newboots when you've shifted the flab.

Where do you shop babylann?

The pasty tax is being rescinded.
Because I told them to.

I used to have opinions when I was poor but as I've become older and have slightly more money I have fewer opinions because I can't remember what I think.

Nothing to do with what's in my bank account - all to do with my grey matter

I shop at M&S once because I got some free vouchers when we started our sky contract and walked around laughing with horror at the prices

And I buy my DDs clothes from Boden second hand from ebay

Thanks for clearing that up Hully, off to Waitrose iceland now to get something healthy for tea chicken nuggets. My brain has got flab on it I'm sure so I don't want to strain it by having opinions. Its too much like hard work.

Can we have a Plebs' Corner' on mumsnet, where poor people can congregate to sing 'Down at the Old Bull and Bush' and suchlike?

As long as they don't have opinions.

I had an opinion once... but it slipped out of my hand and rolled off then fell down a drain.

manic here-have mine. Its very heavy mind

Nah- middle class people will only find a way of taking them away and using them for themselves.

True, Seeker. I keep them in a drawer in my armoire and get them out on long winter evenings when we need a laugh.

It's okay. It wasn't an 'opinion', it was an 'onion'.

I have no opinions.

not a meatball manic? are you sure?

I'm not sure. I don't have an opinion.

as for intelligent poor people - oxymoron, surely. We all know that poor people are fick and can't possibly don't understand how the world works. They should get in their place and stop being uppety.

they should stick to onions imo
