Sorry but Chav and being poor are not the same thing, growing up poor doesn't mean you have to commit crime. Having crappy parents who threw their lives away and decided to sponge off the government, ending up in council housing and bringing up criminal's is what most people call a chav which, as far as I could tell wasn't even a word the Judge used.
IT would seem Riyaa's opinion is heavily based around the linking of all poor people to being chav's and criminals and then not liking that assumption.
I know plenty of rich people, and plenty of poor people, the ones who I hate, and are scum of the earth are the ones with bad parents. Rich or poor makes no difference, being brought up with, or more accurately, not being brought up with any morales, life lessons decent teaching of right from wrong is to blame. It has entirely nothing to do with council housing or being poor.
However people who commit crimes, do jail terms or lose jobs, sponge off the government do these days now tend to all end up in council homes as after coming out of jail theres not much else they can do.
They got into the system by being bad in the first place, the system didn't make them bad, thats a personal choice of anyone. The poorest kid ever with awful parents still choses to go and steal something, no ones being forced here.
The Judge was completely right with what he said and theres no need to be embarassed to stat, basically, the facts and point out he's not going to be a completely pathetic idiot letting them off with a slap on the wrist for attacking someone.
Theres nothing wrong with anyone until they do something bad, Chav's are so called not because of where they grew up, its because of how they behave... the V stands for Violence, once you become violent you lose all standing and benefit of the doubt for me.
