Beckhams are 'too working class' for posh Haberdashers' Aske's school

"As soon as you're born they make you feel small/By giving you no time instead of it all/Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all/A working class hero is something to be/A working class hero is something to be /They hurt you at home and they hit you at school/They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool/Till you're so crazy you can't follow their rules/A working class hero is something to be/A working class hero is something to be...".
John Lennon was right that's why he had been killed. After a bank worker fired for Facebook post comparing her £7-an-hour wage to Lloyds boss's £4,000-an-hour salary, someone was proud to write "the Beckhams are too working class". The comments were made on the popular internet site Mumsnet, the website set up by mothers to give advice on parenting and family issues. Beckhams' apparent choice of £14,000-a-year Haberdashers’ Aske’s upset somebody. One former Haberdashers’ pupil, calling herself crazygracieuk, wrote: "David and Victoria are working class". Is this Cameron's Big Society?
