The 21st century economy is run by the stereotypical chav. The working class of today is being unfairly treated and disgraced due to the small minority of the Burberry-capped teenage mothers.

One in six households today does not have a member of family in work, and I wonder who lives in these one in six houses!

But here is the thing - today’s society does not want these teenage mothers and Burberry caps (as we label them), yet shops and supermarkets appeal to them with cheap alcohol and we wonder why the working class is slowly being poisoned.

After World War II, New Labour came into power and tried controlling the social classes. By doing this they took opportunities away from people, which devalued their lives. Moreover, this meant the ‘chavs’ became newly significant in the system as they were not ambitious and didn’t care whether they were making the system fail for New Labour.

But for every loss there is a gain for another – in this regard, Nick Griffin. Now, I know the BNP are not the most favourable people to us as a multinational society, but from a political perspective he is the only person looking after today’s chav.

New Labour are trying to force these chavs into work and treat them the same as everyone else, whereas the sly BNP have turned around to the chavs, have opened their arms and shown a willingness to look after them.

The BNP is trying to be the standard barrier of the chavs while they undersize New Labour out of power.

According to New Labour social classes do not exist, but they do. And the hatred and tension is building.

For any system to work you need an amount of responsibility as a nation - and this is one thing the chav is not.

Maybe it is time for change. Instead of blaming the system we need to cut it and stop the accommodations towards the vile chavs. As long as we allow these disgraceful people take charge we as the working class will always be categorised by them!

One of the main problems is the way these points are expressed to kids through so called ‘role models’. In fact they are the 'holy trinity of chavs' and I talk of Kerry Kattona who is even too chavvy to work on the Iceland’s advert, Katie Price the money grabbing wannabe diva who came from a man’s magazine and lastly Jade Goody the girl who came from nothing and still taught the world how to die with dignity.

We need to stop these so-called role models infecting teens of today as they think it is acceptable that the things these people do are right.

The way Gordon Brown wants to tackle this problem is ignorant and stupid; he wants to lock up teenage mothers to get them to work. To me, it is dangerous and stupid for a 14-year-old girl to be in prison with murders and rapists. Now tell me why is he in charge of our country?!

Chavs are getting too accustomed to their way of life and while we are in crisis with the recession we need to ease them off the free money; getting pregnant underage should not get them a free pass to money and a house.

The white working class is dividing nationally due to racial prejudice. To the south of England we are more multinational than our fellow people in the north who mostly spread themselves away from ethnic groups. But stereotypical behaviour is growing to the extreme. Just because someone lives in Bermondsey does not automatically make them a chav.

Some people believe that the difference between the social classes is cultural and I say that is yet again ignorant. What used to be seen as the ‘mighty working class’ historically, has been pushed into the background and a new interpretation has been made.

Now it has been said the classes were made by not how poor a person was, but by their attitude, and this could be true as the working class do not look down upon anyone - not even their own kind, whereas the middle class look down on everybody and anybody.

Or so it seemed before the rise of the chav. But is the hierarchy unfair?

The working class is slipping onto vile and gore with its white vans, pit bulls and the disgraceful language. But through this the working class is strengthening Nick Griffin as the votes come in.

Multiracialism without a New Labour party could possibly not work as ethnicity would fall and divide, and the BNP would thrive on this. This is trying to be avoided as aspiration is being built in schools, but it is not working as the chav attitude has poisoned pupil minds.

Our civil liberties are under threat! Are we so bad as a nation that we look down on each other as we have a fear of chavphobeia?

We are now in the 21st century and we don’t have the dynamic society we hoped for. Is it time for New Labour to step down and the rise of the BNP to start? Why are we fighting each other, when we should be fighting the politics and the bankers who give themselves big bonuses, get drunk in strip clubs and tell us working class we can’t get drunk on the streets? Just because the rich have money does not mean they can rule the classes and be immoral!

We all wonder why the BNP is getting so powerful and here is the answer: they are looking out for the white working class!

My final question to you is: do we defend civil liberty or the chav?
