Is it ever ok to make fun of people in housing estates? Card company Clintons have had to apologise after they were accused of mocking working classes with a card titled 10 reasons 'Why Santa must live on a council estate'. Listed inside are things like he only works once a year and he drinks alcohol during working hours. As well as he can get hold of all the latest designer gear but never pays a penny for it.
