Wretched reactionary gnome


Explanation:
Propozycja. Pole do manewru jest dosyć duże (np. "pathetic reactionary midget" też by się nadało).

Nie wiem, czy na to powstało jakieś "oficjalne" tłumaczenie na angielski, ale wątpię. Można by spróbować ewentualnie poszukać czegoś w twórczości Normana Daviesa.
