Eagerly await your proposals for a forced sterilisation programme.

Bias!! But since we're doing them one by one, may I humbly suggest Aldershot and Lower Earley?
I'm lucky I guess, as I'm able to move beyond the petty bourgeois concept of different "classes", having the ability and charm to seamlessly interact and identify with people from all sections of our diverse society. Be they quasi-royalty or the poorest, most socially disadvantaged, I somehow have the knack of appreciating each person simply for their merits as a human, putting aside issues such as where they live, how much "money" they have, or what their interests and tastes are. Simply put, I just reach out to people - whoever they might be - as human beings who are neither more nor less important than myself.
Except for the blacks and the Irish of course.
What am I laughing at? My ancestors were Irish!

-Oh they don't care which channel they watch as long as there's big tits.
What about Bravo? (though it no longer broadcasts)

Military channel=people who shouldn't be allowed anything sharp
God channel=loonies in nice suits
Scifi=sofa masturbators
TCM=some one who probably shat themselves
Oxygen=women with more than one cat
CBBC=paedophiles
CBBies=more worrying paedophiles
Cartoon network=people who think they're ironic but are just immature
Skyarts=intellectuals with Sky subscriptions (who?!)
Dave=Blokes who cry during Top Gear
Gold=Aaron
E4=People who think they're better than Channel 5 but they're not

At least you won't continually contract wine flu like moi
Ha! That's a new one.
I've got an idea! Why not just make someone from what used to be called the working class the new head of BBC 1? Or Comedy Commissioner?
I've even heard they used to pay for some of them to go to University.
I'm joking, of course.
