'Activities Abroad' advertise "chav free holidays'

Below is an article reporting the new advertising initiative of Activities Abroad holiday company, assuring customers that they would not encounter any 'chavs' (apparently with names such as Shannon or Britney) but would rather be sharing their holiday with "John, Sarah, James and Alice". Charming.

I'm surprised no-one thought of this before.

Chav is a middle class term to keep divided an already decimated and impotent class, so we try so hard not to be the very thing that scares the fuck out of them.
If there's anything worse than a posh twat calling someone a chav, it's a spineless class lackey calling themselves "normal" working class.

Working class kids are working class kids, they are far more competent activists and far more decent people than the privately educated scum who decry them without ever talking to them.
I used to be against classism. No longer, I have witnessed the most polite, posh people commiting horrendous acts of betrayal and abuse while the scummiest among us cut to the quick and get results.
Classism is good, or at least inevitable for the next decades. There wouldn't be an excess of population if the upper-classes didn't consume all the resources, killing them saves the planet. Did Pip fly abroad to save the environment? Whoop de doo.
