Unfortunately, Will Self is an elitist who looks down on ordinary people, in my opinion. I thought he might be Oxbridge, and it looks like he is. He is similar to the Oxbridge New Labour crew who think they know better than the people. They are miffed that the people disagree with them on Brexit and lots of other things. No wonder the elitist doesn't like Trump. This shows what he thinks of people he calls the "underclass".
"Looked at in this way, the ten-tonne fatberg that almost completely blocked the sewer in Chelsea, west London, last year was a true representation of the British underclass: out of sight is out of mind, until it bungs up the entire political process and the constitutional drains start to back up.
Nigel Farage is a fatberg politician. His physical manifestation may be a mucilage of sanitised patriotism and fatty Brit bigotry, but what has put him centre stage is a wave of shitty resentment."
The "underclass" are shitty, dirty, fatty bigots because they don't agree with him and his Oxbridge metropolitan mates.
You can see what a rude, desperately scared Oxbridge elitist who realises that the people disagree with him, he is when he rudely dismisses the excellent Dreda Say Mitchell who supported Brexit and is polite in the face of his arrogant, entitled elitism.
