I hate that horrible wee pub racist garage. Total dick of a man.

Right with you on that Jim!!!  In past decades he would have been a skinhead and part of the national front!!

As much as I think the bloke is a prize tit, you're way off the mark with that.  He's not a fascist or a racist of that nature, though admittedly you could write a whole book about the extent to which his worldview is filtered through a lens of general xenophobia and fear of the "other".  At heart he's a Poujadist, a reactionary populist: a paid-up, suited-up businessman of the commercial classes who sees his calling as protecting "the common man" (for which, read "anyone who agrees with his opinions", regardless of how 'common' they actually are) against the evil influence of "the elites" (for which, read "anyone who disagrees with his opinions", regardless of how 'elite' they actually are).  As with the original Pierre Poujade, behind all of the general xenophobia, the fear of change and the resistance to modernity, there's the implicit suggestion that the country was a better place at some unspecified point in the past, when people like him were running the show, but that it's all somehow gone wrong since him and his ilk got snubbed by all their old schoolmates.

Dislike him if you want, even hate him if you want, but do it for the right reasons.
