Colin Mills here offers a view of the unusually high level of media interest in a piece of sociological research engendered by the publication of the Great British Class Survey. He goes on to remind us that social class is a social construct, and has been both defined and measured in different ways.

Note in particular the two main planks of the critique offered here (he has other criticisms), regarding the purpose and the methods of the research.
