Given that there's a 'coffee bar' every 50 yards or so on every street in London, who exactly is he talking about?

I’m a creature of habit – my breakfast is always a bowl of porridge and an orange. I chop up the orange and chomp on the inside of it.

Christ, this muppet is supposed to be a master of the dark arts and he's using "fake news about fake news". What did the chattering classes do to deserve such biting social commentary.

polenta doesn't really make much of a meal or snack on its own though

Polenta (mămăligă) is the ultimate peasant food in Romania so seeing it cited itt is amusing.

I think of it as coarse corn flour, like the first time I bought it was to make some cornbread which is probably a trailer park staple in the US!

Should have used "LaCroix-sipping" for the rhyme with hoi polloi.

i thought this polenta thing was made up today, but it seems to originate from late-90s river cafe menus which have conned a whole generation of right wing pundits into believing that polenta is expensive pic.twitter.com/kCmqfqEdx3— jonathan nunn (@demarionunn) June 4, 2021

Also Derwood should know that it’s wrong to put ‘the’ before ‘hoi polloi’.

'The hoi polloi' is perfectly fine in English, as is 'chai tea', 'Sharia law' or 'the La Brea tar pits'.
