The political bourgeoisie has been the subject of major criticism

Britain has been dubbed an “elite dictatorship” where the majority view on issues such as cars, wokery and crime are ignored.

In a blistering attack on the political bourgeoisie, journalist Allister Heath hit out at the “deranged war on cars, our looming ban on gas boilers, the debanking scandal, the failure to prosecute crime, the attempted cancellation of women, the sabotage of the Brexit agenda and the scale of migration”.


Speaking on GB News, presenter Patrick Christys says he agrees with the sentiment and believes those in power are becoming the same.

He said: “The majority view does not appear to be being upheld by those in charge.

“All too often, they will stand on a manifesto on something and something else will come up and they’ll say, ‘sorry, something else has come up we’ll have to do this instead.

“Here we are, years down the line, with an unelected prime minister doing things nobody wants and a leader of the opposition doing things I’m convinced he doesn’t want to do.

“But he was some very woke people behind him making sure he does them.”

Speaking in his Telegraph piece, Heath said that the UK is living in a “different political reality” than what should truly be the case if it were a majoritarian society.

The reporter claimed public opinion is “flagrantly disregarded” and Westminster has become “cartelised” as a result.

He spoke out on the Government’s net zero policy which includes banning all new petrol and diesel cars by 2030.

Despite an outpouring of demand for a delay, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt told GB News’ Liam Halligan that they will be sticking with their deadline.

“I think that deadline is important because it encourages a lot of investment, such as the new Gigafactory, the electric battery factory that Jaguar Land Rover said they were billed just a few weeks ago in Somerset”, he said.

“That's going to create 4000 new jobs. If you want to encourage that investment from all over the world, you have to have a clear deadline.

“We're sticking with 2030, but we're going to do it in a pragmatic way.”

Toby Young from the Free Speech Nation spoke to Patrick Christys about the matter, accusing the elite of being “at odds” with the values of the general public.

“I thought the piece was spot on”, he told GB News.

“Whether it be small boats, debanking, net zero, the liberal metropolitan elite are completely at odds with the majority of the British public.

“We don’t have in place a way to protect the majority from a belligerent, elitist minority.

“On so many of these issues, particularly climate change and migration, the parties seem to have the same policy.”
