The Likes Of Us by Michael Collins
Once they were portrayed as the salt of the earth. Nowadays, they take to the streets when paedophiles and asylum seekers are in their midst; they expose their lives in TV documentaries; they love Gucci and hate the Euro; the broadsheets cast them as xenophobes and exhibitionists and mock their tastes and attitudes. But who are the white working class and what have they done to deserve this portrayal? The Likes of Us is a fascinating and wholly original examination of London's white working class.
Michael Collins was born in Walworth, south-east London, in 1961. He has worked as a television producer and scriptwriter, and has written for various publications including the Observer, Guardian, Independent, Sunday Telegraph and Sunday Times. www .michaelcollins.info
