Are white working class people ignored in Britain?

A poll by the BBC's Newsnight programme to discover the views of the white working class has found that more than half think nobody speaks out for people like them. Do you agree?

The poll was in response to BBC Two's 'White season', which explores issues concerning the white working class in 21st century Britain.

The poll suggests that a higher proportion of them are finding it difficult to afford housing and believe that Britain has generally got worse over the last 10 years.

On immigration, more white working class people questioned in the poll thought it was a bad thing and more also believed their jobs were at risk from immigration.

Would you describe yourself as British white working class? What issues are of most concern to you? Do you think your voice is heard in Britain? Do you have a personal experience to share?

Haven't they always been? What's new? Not just white working class, but the working class generally. A new generation of non-white working class will fair no better! Immigrants come in droves for an improvement in their own personal lives, often without considering the quality of life (or lack of it) of their successive generations - cost of living, housing, etc. The streets of London are NOT paved with gold (apart from the square mile of course). They'll look to emigrate like the rest of us too
