In the current recession, the imaginary coherence of subculture seems about to dissolve under the pressure of material constraints. During the July '81 riots, in the decimated inner cities, black and white youths turned to crime and open conflict with the police. After Toxteth and Brixton, the politics of consumption, at least for unemployed youth, seems to be converging on a single point of tension, a simple opposition: desire and the absence of means, a brick and a shop window. The targets for the rioters and looters were in their way 35 predictable enough - not the town halls, the labour exchanges, the schools and factories.
His suits fit just too well. For Waugh what is at stake here in the drama of Trimmer's impertinence is the sanctity of the established social order - its inalienable right to perpetuity. At a time when the structure of inequality underlying that order had been laid bare by the Depression years, when the sheer visibility of the gulf between rich and poor was beginning to seem unacceptable or at the very least embarrassing to all but the most intransigent reactionaries, Waugh sets himselfin retrospect in the teeth of history; defends the indefensible by resurrecting the most archaic, inegalitarian criteria - the rule book of the snob.
