  1. Martin Durkin has very interesting things to say about race and the race relations industry. But, as a person of working-class origin, I find his generalisations about working-class people patronising in the extreme. Apparently we are totally scientificay illiterate - we 'don't give a stuff about climate change or GM foods (what the heck are they?)'. This reminds me of Remainiacs equating Eurosceptics with 'xenophobes, Fascists, Nazis and racists', and assuming that we are, being working-class, incapable of reading Joseph Stiglitz ('The Euro') or Yanis Varoufakis ('Adults in the room'). I (state-educated) have been called a Fascist by 'The New Statesman' (I am guessing most of the employees were expensively educated) for correcting their grammar. I fear Martin Durkin is in danger of stereotyping in the same way.
