It's because he likes beer and fags and racism, just like they do.

No. His public comedy persona is that of someone who likes beer and fags and racism.
He's a public schoolboy-turned-investment-banker-turned-career-politician who drinks fine claret and while he's a nasty piece of work he's more interested in the votes of racists than the policies themselves.

It's one of the truest lines in showbiz:

If you can fake sincerity, you've got it made.

I think he smokes because he likes it, and you can like both beer and wine, can't you? I know I do.
There doesn't seem to be anything fake about his racism, either.

I'm well aware he came from money and did well in the city.
