Chavs (or Charvas, as they've been called up here for decades) are essentially classed, not by themselves, but by people abusing them and are identified by others, as being uncouth, rowdy, workijng class and wearing cheap imitation designer goods.

It is complete class snobbery and quite despicable to start naming working class kids as scum that should be exterminated that many on that lovely site you pointed us to do.

A lazy labelling of a whole group of people is, as you know dangerous. To call all young black men drug dealers is a dangerous and disgusting stereotype that is not acceptable among liberals and the Left, yet labelling young white working class kids as chavs (and the implied 'scum') is acceptable which i find disgusting.

What you should do is label someone who stabs a girl in the eye several times with scissors as violent scum, but to then say they are a chav, hence white working class scum is a smear, i'm sure you'll recognise, too far.

Violent nasty bastards come from all walks of life.

i thought we'd had this debate years ago
