What has caused us to develop such a "white trash" underclass that worships celebrity?
We've seen our inarticulate, ill-educated, ignorant underclass, embodied by CBB's Jade, Danielle, Jack and Jo, on prime time tv this week instead of "Trisha" and "Jeremy Kyle" where such behaviour is usually confined.
This seems to have left the general public shocked, as if a secret has been let out of the bag in highlighting to the world what the UK is becoming. A nation where the aspiration of a generation is to gain "reality tv show" fame in absence of effort, skills or talent to achieve wealth and prominence through hard work and application.
Will some good come out of this, in that we will no longer tolerate the nation's media creating "Joe Public" superstars out of talentless halfwits? Or will, as I fear, we just crucify Jade and put her put it down as a "one off", and let the underclasses return to "Trisha" and Jeremy Kyle" where we don't have to watch them or worry about them....
