My sister's voting Labour - not a good sign

They consider themselves to be a new aristocracy, f. They feel nothing except the most profound contempt for anyone who dares to dissent from their wishes. And that contempt is, at root, predicated on a visceral class hatred for those whose views, education, geographical location or income they feel puts them beneath their exalted status.

It's more ephemeral than that surely? I mean, they can't all be Cheltenham and Cambridge-educated crude oil brokers, can they?

Oh, no. It's not that sort of class we're talking about anymore. The self-appointed aristocracy of which I speak is controlled by a tiny metropolitan-based media/pop cultural Brahmin caste who effectively see themselves as being the arbiters of all that is or isn't acceptable. Their hangers-on and lickspittles are usually those of similar outlook and location, but lesser status, who seek reflected glory by mindlessly parroting their views and retweeting their tweets. These people have created an echo chamber that is extremely loud, but actually rather shallow, which is why they keep getting surprised when the electorate hands them their arses.

Thank you, VpV. Now vote Tory, there's a good lad.

Thank you, VpV. Now vote Tory, there's a good lad.

If it's not a close run thing, why are you so keen to encourage people to vote?

Now I'm scared again. I'm ignoring you until Friday

You might as well get scared because Arsenal players try in a game against Lincoln City.

I will remind you of your brown-trousered ways come Friday. You mark my words.

Direct me to these aristocrats, sir. I would speak with them. Brahmin rhymes with ramen, and that's why I think we'd get along.

Impudent brats! I wish I had their chutzpah. That's political correctness for you, I suppose

Decent chap. Never liked his music although I seem to recall some of it was featured in Miami Vice.
