It's blatant snobbism. Words like 'redneck' and 'pikey' imply someone of a low class.

Redneck and pikey do indeed indicate that someone is low class. They are not racist terms though.
Freddie isn't a scrounger. He doesn't claim benefits. He doesn't get an allowance from his parents either. All of his spending money he earns himself, whether it be from face painting in a nightclub or one of his business ventures. He has also has had regular jobs, something that Lisa has not for a very long time.

Nope, wrong. I don't whether it was on lf or the hl show where he said he didn't have a job but was living with his parents and so incurred no expenses. He himself admitted he would have signed on if he hadn't been able to live with his parents.
And Lisa had a job until 4 months ago. She has worked her whole life in factories. It's not easy to find a job in a recession; especially when your 41 with no qualifications and the only experience you have is working in a factory - an industry in decline.
