Being loyal to your roots is the opposite of knowing your place. The corollary of knowing your place is aping the pretentions of the bourgeoisie, without the equipment.
This is just a mess of nonsense and non sequiturs. I'm sure
you
know what you mean, but it has no explanatory value for the rest of us. 'Loyalty to your roots' has a rough 'n' ready authenticity about it, but it has no political import. Working class solidarity; active allegiance to the working class; class consciousness, whereby one becomes conscious of the need for the working class to be a class
for
itself, and not just a
mass
in itself* - now, these things mean something, regardless of their pertinence to the current political landscape.
In the meantime, I'd be as happy for you to, say, win millions of pounds on The Lottery as I would anyone else. And not having any real reason to doubt your radical political credentials I'm perhaps more confident than you seem to be that wealth would do no injury to said principles.
Ferraris for all!!

*Hal Draper made the point that 'class in itself/class for itself' was a mistranslation of Marx, the original being closer to 'mass-in-itself/class-for-itself'. The correct translation only makes the point clearer.

Thanks for your rates, Allison. Much appreciated.
Nice to see you thought of me.
Your list is beyond impressive and should be very useful to me (still haven't seen a thing - aside from 'Life Is Sweet' ages ago - by Leigh sigh).

Haven't seen Another Day yet, nor Topsy Turvy, but the DVDs are here.
Happy Go Lucky - 5/10 (his weakest, I feel. Optimism and Mike Leigh not compatible!)
Vera Drake (2004) - 8/10 (brilliant reproduction of the era)
All or Nothing (2002) - 8/10
Career Girls (1997) - 6/10
Secrets & Lies (1996) - 9/10
Naked (1993) - 7/10
Life Is Sweet (1990) 9/10
High Hopes (1988) - 9/10
Bleak Moments (1971) - 11/10 (simply the BEST movie ever made by anyone)
Plus:
Meantime - 9/10 (seriously underrated by so many)
Nuts in May - 9/10
Abigails Party - 9/10
