It is terrible how much class snobbery affects the way different people are judged for doing the same things. It's classy and impressive when the ninth viscount such-and-such shows off his collection of swords and armour to the English Heritage members touring his family's ancestral castle but when I show my social worker the large collection of machetes and Bowie knives I keep in my one bedroom council flat I get referred to the Prevent programme.

I'll give you a tip Hengist, change your name to Mohammad and the social worker will file your knife collection as Culturally Appropriate. You'll also qualify for additional welfare benefits and an amnesty for any outstanding convictions, plus ongoing immunity from prosecution.
