Petition Parity under discrimination and equality laws for the working class
More details
We want the Government to recognise the working class as a distinct ethnic group with its own protected characteristics, therefore protecting working class people under UK discrimination legislation.
We also believe that derogatory, stereotypical and discriminatory terms such as 'chav' and 'underclass' should be categorised as hate speech under the terms of inclusion.
