It's like when Nick Griffin was on AQ all the liberals patted themselves on the back for "showing him up", when actually they just reinforced how aloof they were from huge sections of the population.

The same thing happens to Farage whenever he's on a similar show and the panel made from the same Oxbridge institutional clique gang up on him (Dimbleby included). They all seem blind to how it appears to other people.

I think this is true (although, lest we forget, posho Farage didn't exactly go to very different schools than those ganging up on him there).

There's a similar opinion here in John Harris' piece on Trump supporters:

Maybe. But he is definitely not part of their world.

That video has pretty much convinced me Trump will be the next President ;(

He went to Dulwich College, then worked in the City. He's about as anti-establishment as Boris.

Quite how UKIP voters don't see through that charade is beyond me.

Yep, although I've met many Americans lately who work at the US Embassy in London. They all say say that when it comes down to it, Mrs Clinton is the lesser of two evils. They think she'll just scrape in, but with such a small majority that she'll basically be a lame duck president from day one.
