[edit] Quote

In an Observer article published in August 2006, Mr Bird said: "I'm middle-class. I got out of the working class as quickly as I could. The working class is violent and abusive, they beat their wives and I hate their culture."

John Bird has said rather a lot of things over the years. I fail to see why this out-of-context quote should be included here in isolation, in what is a very stubby article. 217.155.20.163 21:13, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
