Sheffield Trades Council organised a protest against Nick Clegg, Deputy Prime Minister and Lib Dem MP for Sheffield Hallam, who was speaking in the Town Hall, on 3rd September 2010. The attached audio is a raw recording (apologies for the poor quality) of the second half of the speeches, starting with a speaker from the Sheffield Pensioners Action Group.

The hypocrisy of the Petite Bourgeoisie..
05.09.2010 10:33
Petit-bourgeois (sometimes Anglicized as petty bourgeois) is a French term that originally referred to the members of the lower middle social classes in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Starting from the mid-19th century, the term was used by Karl Marx and Marxist theorists to refer to a social class that included shop-keepers and professionals.
Though distinct from the ordinary The Working Class and the lumpenproletariat, who rely entirely on the sale of their labor-power for survival, the petty is different from the haute bourgeoisie, (high bourgeoisie) or capitalist class, who own the means of production and buy the labor-power of others to work it. Though the petite bourgeois may buy the labor power of others, in contrast to the haute bourgeoisie, they typically work alongside their own employees; and although they generally own their own businesses, they do not own a controlling share of the means of production.
More important, the means of production in the hands of the petite bourgeoisie do not generate enough surplus to be reinvested in production; as such, they cannot be reproduced in an amplified scale, or accumulated, and do not constitute capital properly.
