If you needed evidence that the British class system is still in full effect, there it is. A site such as Radio H-P prevents trickle-down wealth (not that it ever really existed) and entrenches the margins of class. I like to think of classism as a social ill that plagues older demographics only, but young people are as preoccupied with it as our parents and grandparents – we just can’t admit it. It is why, after a group of young Tories made jokes about gassing “chavs” on WhatsApp, nothing really happened. But when it comes to eradicating class barriers, nothing has really changed since our parents’ youth, so it is not our fault that it still affects us.
