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. DAILY MAIL
BOOK OF THE YEAR 'With its vicious takedowns, Quentin Letts'
laugh-out-loud Patronising Bastards will have the lefty-elite
running scared' The Sun 'Earnest without being preachy, Patronising
Bastards is a tonic for those who look about them and feel an
insuperable sense of defeat' Roger Lewis, The Times 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. 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 and rite.
You'll find these self-indulgent show-ponys not just in politics
and the cloistered old institutions but also in high fashion,
football, among the clean-eating foodies and at the Baftas and
Oscars, where celebritydom hires PR smoothies to massage
reputations and mislead, distort, twist. Political columnist and
bestselling author Quentin Letts identifies these condescending
creeps and their networks, their methods and their dubious morals.
Letts kebabs them like mutton. It's baaaahd. It's juicy. Richard
Branson, Emma Thompson, Shami Chakrabarti, Jean-Claude Juncker and
any head waiter who calls you 'young man' - this one's for you!
