Labour and the working class go together like two peas in a pod. However, times are changing. conservative(with small c) values are back in fashion with the working class. But they are different by different age groups.
The older generation 40+ have very traditional Protestant working class values of working hard. They have traditional views on the role of the sexes with mum often not working but instead looking after the home.
The 20 - 40 year olds are the Sun generation: they believe in being tough on crime, buying British and have a little Britain mentality
The younger children are 'Thatchers children reborn': They are a consequence of Laissez Faire: for them it is all about being entrepreneurial, they want to make as much money as possible and as easily as possible. "Why work in Mcdonalds when you can sell drugs".
