Harriet Harman, Class Warrior - Yeah Right

It seems that Harriet Harman has discovered class, pointing out that class is an obstacle to people progressing in life. Give her a job as Minister for Stating the Bleeding Obvious. Evidently, class is such an obstacle that comprehensive schools populated by local working-class kids were not good enough for her offspring.
I can only assume that the very idea of Harriet as a class warrior is what prompted her evident amusement in this photograph. Mind you, New Labour has indulged in plenty of class war since being elected in 1997 - the only problem that it has not been for the working class but against us!
There's a decent kick back at Ms Harman in the Guardian letters page.
