I always think of a 'chav' as someone who thinks being thick is something to be proud of
This mentality is sadly becoming the norm

It's not endearing so I have no idea why they play on it. Girls want to come across this way more so now a days. Is it to appear cute and naive/innocent to potential suitors?

Nice post and I agree. I felt sorry for Jayne who seemed to have resigned herself to being evicted.

Not a Jayne fan but when they were all basically saying oh Jayne should have gone and she was just nodding her head along with them made me feel sorry for her. Hopefully the penny has dropped with her that the bedroom bitches aren't as much a fan of her as she thought.

Ah but she is a single mom while Jackson's child is with his ex. He doesn't go about "I', doing it for my boy" all the time. There is no issue about women with kids going in to BB but using it as a shield or as a reason to win IS the problem.

Also the whole idea of sacrificing yourself to work to provide for the child by going to BB instead of getting a proper job instead of a TV competition, spending three months AWAY lazing around in string bikinis, twerking, flashing boobs and talking crap
Too be fair she'll gain a larger chunk in a shorter amount of time if she capitalizes upon this. Alone that's more security in terms of housing etc. I can see the enticement of wanting a large amount for minimal work, then she can show end more time at home with her daughter. I'm sure she will enter normAl 9 to 5 work after all this farce dies down.

As for Jackson he certainly plays on financial gain in regards to his son, actually much of his behaviour is justified by using his son.

Jackson still has parental responsibilities sorry, 3 months is along time as you say to be away from a child that's use to seeing you, so that includes Jackson too. Let's be honest here gnashing if Lateyshas baby went home with her dad people would still be slating her, so yes she would still be getting flack unlike Jackson so it is because she's female.

And a grandparent is more than adequate care for your child, if anything they're spoilt more.

Jackson's child lives with his mother who is a single parent with two children.
He still has parental responsibilities and shouldn't b swanning of on tv for 3 months either. There are no excuses for him because he chooses to be a part time parent.

As for Alex's 'baby' isn't that yet again more neglectful?

What about Jason, has he not left his child to work away on films, to provide for her? Will h not again in the future, as he's expressed his desire for a baby, will he give up stunt doubling.....I doubt it.

Their is a lot of hypocrisy at play here.

Lateness what our be slated for abandoning her child even if she was left with the babies day, so what different here????? Nothing but the fact she's a mother/a woman. And to be honest it seems to be the female poster more so that seem to be the ones that are making the males decisions right but the females wrong.

and it's statements like that which perpetuate the myth - because it is a myth - that leads to young people believing that a career in reality TV is going to set them up for life! Lateysha has already had her shot at TV fame - on a show which ran for several series don't forget - and yet she's still telling us she's skint.


Let's say she makes 200k from this - that's 160k after agents fees, then she'll be taxed on that, NI conts... the on-line calculators I can find are quoting a take-home of 95-99k.

TRUE, it's a lot of money - but it' doesn't last long when you're buying 1k shoes (as we've seen Lateysha wearing) and paying out for plastic surgery.

So she puts it towards a small house/flat and then what? Onto benefits?

Or she parties for a year and treats herself and her daughter... and then what, onto benefits again. Can't see her working a normal job because she thinks she's too special and too "famous" to do such things.

It's a poisoned chalice and no mistake.

Not having children whom you cannot afford to support is an even better option.
Mistakes happen.

People also fall pregnant whilst using contraception.

Some may be strongly against abortion

Surely it's not the child fault so keeping a child and rearing it is the better option compared to the gruesome alternative, so I don't get why some assume getting rid of a child is the easier or more desirable option.

Sometimes struggling to bring up a child is the brave option, all too often abortions are used because it'll impact negatively upon the parent.

I'm sure she'll have to eventually as we all do.

But for the time being that amount of money is a couple of years pay for most, you can see why anyone in that position would take whatever opportunity comes your way. Even if she gets a small regular radio or presenting job out of it in Wales it doesn't look like to bad of a gamble for her to gain some regular income/job. It all depends on how mature she is during the aftermath of this experience.

It's called 'immaturity.'
I really do think the first response summed it all up.

By working class do you mean lower socioeconomic groups but they are still working? There is no shame in working.

Or does working class also include people on "the dole" (welfare) that are using/abusing the system (maybe because they were raised a certain way so it is engrained in them)?

In the US we use lower class, middle class and upper class but mainly based (or solely based) on socio-economic status. I wonder if it is different in the UK due to the upper upper class having titles or affiliations with titled or aristocrats?


I don't want to get into a political discussion or debate on class systems but just want to know if working class means the segment of society that is working but not making much money which is different, imo, from the people being solely supported by the government (specifically abled-bodied mentally competent people who are not employed)? That includes people born into poverty and may not know of a way to break that cycle for a variety of reasons. I don't include, in that group, single parents with multiple young children, disabled, elderly, etc...

In Britain working class is usually a term used to describe those on lower incomes.

Anyone who isn't working class is usually referred to as middle class. Upperclass in this country is usually reserved only for aristocracy or anyone from 'old money'.

I think your perception of what 'antisocial' tends to mean in the UK as opposed to the USA may differ a bit too.
Yes antisocial can be used to describe somebody who isn't very sociable, but in the UK it has come to sometimes mean antisocial in the context of being associated with low level criminality.
As in the ASBO (Anti-social behaviour order) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-s...ehaviour_order

I personally hate the word chav as it appeared to be adopted by people to look down their noses at young working class people in general in a very snobby way.
In your country an equivalent type of insult might be 'trailer trash'.

Asocial is actually the correct word for those who don't wish to socialise. But not a lot of people know that, for some reason.

I don't get all the drama, their self indignation at how a twist would take saint lateysha, the woman of the people, away from them.

there has been twists that have targeted loads of other housemates...since when should she be immune?

the meltdown was crazy, seriously over dramatic and quite weird to be honest..like she has just been sent to the gulags, never to be seen again..

And why did she leave her child and miss its first steps..Not a model parent..AND shes looking for sympathy..Its beyond me.
Exactly.

Unfortunately a Kim K lifestyle comes first and the baby second nowadays. So long Lateysha, just another ex HM and you'll be soon forgotten.

I always thought of a 'chav' as someone who is a yob.

Someone with 300k twitter followers won't be forgotten that soon. No doubt the offers are flooding in already. Last laugh to Lateysha haha.

Our yoof should be encouraged to read a book or two, the intelligence of most in the house is woefully lacking.

300k followers on Twitter's far more important than intelligence though. Apparently.
