Middle Class Holes EXPOSED: Gareth Roberts on Owen Jones, Emily Maitlis, Banksy & Britain's Elite Bubble
Description
Gareth Roberts joins Will Kingston on Fire at Will to discuss his controversial new book Middle Class Holes – a satirical takedown of Britain's most irritating middle-class public figures and institutions.
In this wide-ranging conversation, Gareth explains what makes a "middle class hole", why virtue signalling and political sanctimony have become so prevalent, and how Britain's cultural elite became disconnected from ordinary voters.
The discussion covers figures including Owen Jones, Emily Maitlis, Steve Coogan, Banksy, Jess Phillips, and the activist group Led By Donkeys, alongside debates about Brexit, Donald Trump, identity politics, media bias, activism, class, and the state of modern British culture.
