Defund the police. Abolish the family. Repent for your white privilege. The elites have been gripped by some strange ideas in recent years. But they are worse than naive or fanciful. While these opinions confer status on the rich people who spout them, they come at a high cost for the less fortunate. Best-selling author Rob Henderson has a term for this, ‘luxury beliefs’. Here, he talks to Fraser Myers about how his own troubled start in life opened his eyes to the delusions of the upper class.
