BookPublisher: London : Constable, 2017Description: xi, 305 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 23 cm.ISBN: 9781472127358 (hbk.) :; 1472127358 (hbk.) :.Classification number: 941.086 LETSubject(s): Elite (Social sciences) -- Great Britain -- Attitudes | Elite (Social sciences) -- Political activity -- Great Britain | Great Britain -- Politics and government -- 21st century | History | HistorySummary: Not since Marie Antoinette said 'Let them eat cake' have the peasants been so revolting. Western capitalism's elites are bemused: Brexit, Trump, and 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. 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 and rite. Political columnist and bestselling author Quentin Letts identifies these condescending creeps and their networks, their methods and their dubious morals.
