What do you mean 'prove me wrong'?

You posted up a table which you used as an example of how more 'chavs' will get pregnant as a result of this £120 benefit. The table proved nothing of the sort.

As for prejudice. I would consider the word 'chav' to be prejudical as it makes a judgement of people based on nothing more than a shifting set of values that people see as being 'chav'..it could be that they are working class, or dress in a way you don't like.
