Confused: skint or not skint

Which is strange, if you cant even show your face or hair what does it matter what handbag you have.

I agree ! If I cannot see their face I hardly bother looking at their handbag or shoes.

I did notice a disproportionate number of women in headscarves clambering for luxury goods, no hangovers I guess?

I'm staying in. Not because I'm skint but because I can't stand the whole rampant consumerist wankfest.

It's quite simple: The white people (staying in on new years eve) are poor, and the non-white immigrants (going to the sales) are rich.

The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.

Gorz in his essay "Farewell to the working class" 1970’s suggested that society would change and divide into the “knowledge elite” and the “under-class”, the “working class” with skills and secure job would disappear. Working class jobs have been de-skilled to the point that anyone can do them, so wages have decreased and the under-class do not have secure jobs.
