TheOldestCat, the presence of houmous in your fridge is excusable on those grounds. However, it's never too early to inculcate in your son a taste for the blood of enemies of the people.

what's a skinter?

I'm in. Do I get extra points for having lived in North London?

I'd sign in, but I've never been sure what class I am.

According to that BBC thingy, it seems to be "Technical Middle Class"

A person what is skint, idiunt

I'm in if I'm allowed; don't always get the Guardian but am a resolute Observer on Sunday reader - despite the awful fashion and depressing Nigel Slater recipes (always seems to be a variation of pork and cabbage...). Worked my way up to MC and a leftie.

Signing in.

Hand wringing, bleeding heart middle class leftie here. Although I am poor and get annoyed with their Life & Style pages for assuming that everyone reading has a massive disposable income.

It's White Lightning not Lightening, if you're that concerned.

FWIW I don't hate the poor.

Luckily, I've never been poor, though it could still happen.

However, I have enough working class-made-goodness to ask them if it would be all right they wanted me to rub shoulders with them and the humilty to stand back if they told me: 'no thanks'.

Good point Dewdrop I lived in Islington for six years, next door to Neil Kinnock.

Me. Though I don't read the Guardian as often as I'd like as I rarely find the time. Does the Observer on a Sunday count?

I have finally weaned myself off the Mail and am toying with several papers - read the Guardian on a wednesday ( charity worker so obviously compulsory) subscribe to society guardian on fb and like the saturday, but also fiddle around with 'i' and occasionally the Mirror. Have got birkenstocks, and live in a 'shabby' house with loads of books on fashionable factual subjects, but am a little right-ish, send dd to out of catchment trendy school and dh works for the police (CSI) so not too sure where we fit in :(

Middle class bleeding-heart liberal Guardian reader here.

I am! If I was single I would love to go on a Guardian Blind Date.

the definition I found said it was a witty person. I quite like the idea that my lefty leaningness means I am naturally funny.

Unfortunately the lack of cash closer to the mark.

Idiunt, Josef Stalin had a cracking sense of humour.

did he read the Guardian?

Not too late to join the party, am I?

I'm a Guardian reading leftie but I'm working class.

Waves from the sidelines.

Alas, Stalin didn't read English. He was quite partial to exploiting Western "lefties" and convincing them to write rave reviews of him, denying the existence of the famine in the Ukraine, etc. Too many examples of this to count. Even then, the chattering classes could be convinced to condone anything if you just massaged their ego a little bit.

Oh go on then, Hully, I'll join in. I also like lentils and muesli, try to buy organic and fairtrade etc, etc, etc. Champagne is just about the only alcohol I sort of like. Can I still join?

Am hoping it was one of my pieces in Guardian Family that made Squoosh teary

Ooh, I do like the Saturday Family section. So ... which one are you then, Motherinferior? I do have my suspicions.

Signing in (culturally but not economically MC). I like The Grauniad and champagne and prosecco and Moscato from Aldi. I'm a Labour Party member but I am not Beatrice Webb.

Count me in. That said, I am not patronising and have close family and friends who are underprivileged.

Would Stalin have read the Guardian if he could read English?
