To think it’s a bit racist to call him Richie Sunak?

I don’t like the man but for goodness’ sake it’s RISHI.

Some people seem unable to comprehend this and insist on calling him Richie, is it because Rishi is a non-English name and people simply can’t get their heads round it?

It's because he's rich, as in very wealthy, not because they can't pronounce his name.

Maybe it’s a joke because he was poor growing up as his parents couldn’t afford Sky TV because they paid for him to go to one of the most expensive schools in the country.

Or maybe it’s because his wife and her family have vast personal wealth.

Who knows?

I’ve never seen this before. Where is it happening?

It is a bit like ‘Keith Starmer’, which also makes no sense but for some reason is used to insult him.

I think we should just call him a cunt. Saves any confusion.
