But he did achieve a huge thing, that's the point of the article. So not sure your point is valid.
Seems a wild jump to say that because the person working on a project was working class then the government would classify it. Evidence welcome...
Did you confuse "classism" with "classfying"? You aren't responding to the point made at all. Yes, he achieved a huge thing, but he was "working-class", and not celebrated for it. The comment says the last two things are related.
That's said, I wonder how many more forgotten working class heroes we have that powers that be decided to bury.
Well done for Guardian writing about this.
