Janet Street-Porter goes to town on the luvvies and the politically correct metropolitan elite BBC and political class. At the end of it, I almost felt sorry for the luvvies, but then I remembered that the people's insurgency continues!
I think she is being a little bit unfair in some instances, but she does seem to be in touch with the people and she does make some good points.
"Arrogant, smug and sneering: JANET STREET PORTER, who spent years as a senior BBC boss, excoriates the incestuous luvvie clique who run it
...
Having spent nearly a decade working as a top executive at the BBC, I can vouch that it’s run by a bunch of smug, self-satisfied, over-educated types (nearly all graduates of the same universities) who communicate in an opaque language and conform to a very limited set of beliefs.
These Polenta People (as I like to think of them, since they enjoy eating the fancy Italian cornmeal) embody Left-wing Hampstead talking to trendy, Left-leaning Barnes. Everyone else seems to be excluded.
...
Their best pals inevitably write for The Guardian and they share the same set of leftish, liberal and politically correct values.
...
The tragedy is that it is not only BBC top brass who live in this out-of-touch bubble. The same applies to our political leaders.
David Cameron, with his well-heeled pals in the Cotswolds (who, ironically, include Clarkson), knows no more about white van man and ordinary women than his nemesis, Ed ‘Two Kitchens’ Miliband, who lives in a £2 million home in London.
They might talk about ‘hard-working men and women’ — political code for ‘C2s, DEs’ — but they don’t know any.
No wonder a survey of voters this week found that the three attributes they thought best described Cameron were ‘out of touch’, ‘smug’ and ‘arrogant’. Miliband was ‘weird’, while Nick Clegg was also ‘out of touch’.
...
The BBC should reflect the diversity and richness of British culture — not just the tastes of those who read The Guardian, drive eco-friendly cars, despise Clarkson and make their own sourdough bread."

From reading this, I would venture that Janet is no "save the planet", rooftop wind turbine , hoodie hugging progressive like Cameron, but is more like a signed up member of the People's Insurgency.
