Who are "The Ordinary people"?

I would treat myself to a carvery sometimes, it is nice.
But I would still consider it a luxury, as I would having your other half to prepare and have it waiting on the table :)

loved John Waters article in todays IT on socialism and how those that preach it and are involved in the politics of it at the highest levels are normally well to do and privilleged:

"Socialism, everywhere it happened, was a bourgeois imposition, born of the guilt and guile of self-serving elites who sought to dominate “the masses” by pretending to be on their side. On the Irish left, and in the weave of leftist commentary, this syndrome is visible also, complicated by the fact that, since there was never an Irish industrial revolution, there is no Irish working class.

Thus, the “left wing” voices in Irish society are almost invariably the overeducated progeny of the well-heeled, whose politics are the ideological equivalent of kicking their fathers in the shins. [/B]This is broadly true of the Labour Party, and overwhelmingly true of leftist voices in the media. Socialism Irish-style is almost exclusively self-interested paternalism, an ideological noblesse oblige seeking to dismantle Irish social and existential norms while hiding behind a pretend concern for “the most vulnerable”.
 
When Clare Daly talks about Ordinary People she means low/no income people living in local authority houses in deprived areas.
 
She means the people with a free house, medical card and a long list of other freebies who did not bother their backside to try and get a job even when we had near full employment as distinct from people reared in the exact same environment who took the opportunities that were there to get good well paid work, encouraged their children to advance their education and used their money to make a better standard of living.
Daly and Co could not exist unless they have a certain amount of the people kept in poverty
