Liddle, R: The Selfish Whining Monkeys -

. .

Résumé :
A political reassessment of modern-day Britain, in this book Liddle contends that our ruling elite are London-centric and obsessed with politically correct policies that are at odds with the real needs of the country. Liddle writes for The Spectator, The Sunday Times and Country Life.

'Rod Liddle defines himself as a liberal fundamentalist and he is never far from controversy. He was the first blogger ever to be censured by the Press Complaints Commission. Since establishing himself as a columnist, his favourite themes have been the dangers supposedly posed by religion and immigration. Liddle is one of Britain's most prolific polemicists with columns in the Sunday Times, the Spectator and Country Life. He is popular with his readers partly because he can be one of the most amusing writers in the media. Proud of his allegiance to Millwall Football Club, he makes frequent references to his south-east London birthplace and loves to champion a white working-class urban constituency that he regards as threatened by an immigration-loving liberal elite that lives in what he describes as a golden crescent north of the River Thames.'
