Corbyn / BBC declare social class of employees?

Wonder what class Jeremy considers himself to be?

Stop your whingeing, it’s very simple.

Social Class Sketch

If this is true it would be interesting to know what is the thinking behind it and how they intend to use the information once they've got it. Sounds like some sort of social engineering exercise.

Have just heard this on Today!
Although not a Corbyn supporter, I am not violently anti either. I believe the idea behind these 'social class' investigations is absolute nonsense but more worrying is the fact that he is wasting time and energy on his point of principle!
With all that's going on in politics, he should reassess his priorities instead of inventing new problems!

Social class?
Who uses that sort of term these days?
We’ll be expecting some sort of directive on U and non-U at this rate and disclosing how many horses, carriages and footmen one has next!
Stupid.

The BBC is reporting this morning that he is going to say that fb and Netflix should pay tax to support the BBC.

I'm slightly shocked that I think this is a really good idea.

I agree POGS about class identification - who decides anyway.

Sounds extremely unlikely.
