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?
