You need to swap "working class" with "racist".

And if you equate someone being calm with being smug, there's possibly not much point arguing the toss. Having said that I don't entirely disagree with that view of James O'Brien, but I'd say it applies more to people like David Cameron and Tony Blair, or Jeremy Clarkson and Clive Anderson, etc.

When challenging people's views is described as smug contempt that's rather problematic. It's a way of shutting down debate and promoting an acceptance that views should not be questioned even when they are based on misinformation.

Its a bit anecdotal to sum up half a nation's reason for the Brexit vote. Plenty of morons in the UK voted both sides without really knowing what they were voting for or even being able to articulate why they voted that way let alone post rationalise it now.

Take the pint about the caller on an individual level though. Racist without knowing it. Alarming.

If you don't understand how a change might affect you, or understand what kind of changes were actually being proposed (I certainly had no idea what Brexit actually was actually about based on the campaigns), it isn't moronic to vote against it.

I think I'm finally starting to understand why idiots think the likes of Chairman Nige are Men Of The People if the main criteria for being one is 'really rather racist'.

Imagine the level of smug contempt for the working classes to think that 'working class' means 'inherently racist'.
