Are we allowed if we can't stand the Guardian and prefer the Independent?

I'm middle class and (basically) a leftie but can't bear the Guardian. So no.

Yoo-hoo Quesadilla I'm doing tea and cakes in the next room along the corridor.

I read the guardian (online) and consider myself a leftie but I am not middle class and never will be.

Do I count?

Me too.

You can be middle class AND a former teenage parent, right?

Me! Love the Guardian and consider myself to be MC despite being slightly too poor to really count Blush. Definitely a leftie.

I hate its smug tone and in-with-the-north-Londom gang assumptions, that's what's wrong with it. I also object to taking lectures about social democracy from people who are 80 per cent plus Oxbridge and wealthy.

Count me in.

It's a good newspaper. Always something interesting to read. And I'm happy with the leftie slant as the internet seems to be dominated by angry right-wingers.

Middle class is a state of mind bewildered. And by the way there are several middle classes. A Telegraph reader and a Guardian reader are both (probably) middle class but worlds apart.

I am but only by default. Guardian is so twee and annoying but DH buys it daily because he loves being the only Red in our resolutely Daily Mail village. Leftie and MC, oh yes.

Unfortunately dtds and their friends have snaffled most of the decent cakes. Only some cornflake chocolate crispies left, and they're looking a bit tired.
