whatever

Genesis

In the early "naughties" JMC noticed a curious phenomenon on the UK gay scene. Many of the affluent men who spent their nights clubbing and cruising had developed a fetish for what can only be termed "scally drag." They would buy cheap casual sportswear and go to clubs such as Rude Boyz in Vauxhall in the hope of fulfilling their fantasies of getting off with a sexy chav.

It has long been a commonplace observation that the gay scene and homosexual liaisons cross the class boundaries. whatever tests that idea, and asks what would happen of a man who desires a real chav really were to meet one, and meet the family too.

whatever offers a withering portrait of a liberal elite cocksure in their position, their power, their wealth and their assumptions after two terms of Labour rule. Is it really democracy they're after, or a means of asserting their own power and enacting their own games of desire?
