I ran across a magazine called Tatler. As I opened it for the first time on random page, my eyes rested on article called Bring on the Britlanas by Vassi Chamberlain on page 60. There, the author whinges about that women of FSU and of eastern European ethnic origins get all the rich guys and “smart British” women can’t land any. It seems that Vassi has no idea that most people when they move to UK get awarded British nationality within 3-5 years. So to write about them as if they are not British is quite stupid. It looks like that Vassi is not only racist, but is also very ignorant :)
Yes, some people are just clueless.

Tatler is a magazine for poshheads. Didn’t you know that?
Actually, lately I stated to understand why people like that were killed in 1917 in Russia. Because they fucking deserve it!

I don’t believe in class divisions. I think it is a thing of the past since long time a go. Market segments may be, but they don’t necessarily match any old-fashioned social class description of any culture. Yes, there are always going to be people who would like to imagine that they are better than others, but it comes from insecurity and ignorance. And to say that a person deserves to be killed simply because s/he is ignorant or acting insecure is not fair.
