MIDDLE CLASS HOLES - A GUIDE TO HIGH-STATUS PEOPLE FOR LOW-STATUS PEOPLE

Polly Toynbee, Owen Jones, Stewart Lee, Banksy and Led By Donkeys... the Middle Class Holes who dominate our culture and shape our lives. Correcting us. Herding us. Despising us.

The semi-posh scolds who run almost every British institution, public and private, from top to bottom – at the same time pretending that they’re rebels. It’s enough to make you spew.

But now relief is at hand.

Journalist and commentator Gareth Roberts has compiled a list of the Top 50 most insufferable Middle Class Holes (in no particular order) in British public life. This book collects together the first half of his survey – 25 snobs, scoundrels and charlatans nailed in his inimitable, and very funny, style.

Presenters, politicians, pop stars. Actors and activists. It’s a rib-tickling compendium of ratbags!
