From the Sunday Times bestselling author of 50 People Who Buggered Up Britain, Quentin Letts, comes his blistering new book on how Britain`s out-of-touch, illiberal elite fills its boots.`HILARIOUS` Daily Mail` With its vicious takedowns, Quentin Letts` laugh-out-loud Patronising Bastards will have the lefty-elite running scared` The Sun Not since Marie Antoinette said ` Let them eat cake` have the peasants been so revolting. Western capitalism`s elites are bemused: Brexit, Trump, & maybe more eruptions to follow. But their rulers were so good to them! Hillary Clinton called the ingrates `a basket of deplorables`, Bob Geldof flicked them a V sign, Tony Blair thought voters too thick to understand the question. Wigged judges stared down their legalistic noses at a surging, pongy populous. These people who know best, these snooterati with their faux-liberal ways, are the ` Patronising Bastards`. Their downfall is largely of their own making
- their Sybaritic excesses, an obsession with political correctness, the prolonged rape of reason & rite. You`ll find these self-indulgent show-ponys not just in politics & the cloistered old institutions but also in high fashion, football, among the clean-eating foodies & at the Baftas & Oscars, where celebritydom hires PR smoothies to massage reputations & mislead, distort, twist. Political columnist & bestselling author Quentin Letts identifies these condescending creeps & their networks, their methods & their dubious morals. Letts kebabs them like mutton. It`s baaaahd. It`s juicy. Richard Branson, Emma Thompson, Shami Chakrabarti, Jean-Claude Juncker & any head waiter who calls you `young man`
- this one`s for you!
