Well this thread as gone all Pete tong
I have tried not to post anything about how I feel about what's being said but I now feel I have to !
I hope I have character I know I have free thinking and dam sure I have tenacity BUT I have four children to provide for I started my own company when I finished my apprenticeship and ran it for 13 years until January this year where I lost EVERYTHING due to illness and my inability to resolve the situation at this point I had a short sharp shock from having a very comfortable lifestyle and suddenly having to live on a hundred pounds a week with me my wife two step children and my four kids and knowing that I will never be able to do the one job that I truly loved ever again and I just don't know how to do another .
I don't mind saying I don't cope with that very well I'm lucky that my family and wife support me and have stood by me and the person that punishes me the most is myself and there is not a day that goes by that I do not feel less of a man because I cannot give my family the financial support they deserve
So please don't judge me as the small amount of money I spent already fighting my corner meant the world to me I simply made a choice YES I HAD HIGH REGARD FOR MY KNIFE BUT MY FAMILY COME FIRST ALWAYS ,I DON'T BACK DOWN I JUST HAVE TO BE A REALIST FEEDING MY KIDS OR STANDING UP FOR MY RIGHTS NO CHOICE !!!

It's nothing to do with class or how much money you've got. It's whether you're a strong character, free thinking and got a bit of tenacity in you. That's something money can't buy.
