To think the never ending criticism of Rishi Sunak is rooted in racism?

I know he's not perfect as none of our politicians are! But I do feel like people are out to trip him up over personal things as much as possible. This Sky TV thing is Rodin my opinion - Rishi has never claimed to have had a difficult start or to have grown up in poverty. The journalist pressed him for what he went without in order that his parents could afford his private education and he said he always wanted Sky TV and never had it. He was saying it in a fairly lighthearted way he wasn't moaning or complaining!

People can't seem to handle the fact that he's wealthy and also the puns on his name and the claims he's "unpatriotic". I feel a little bit of thinly veiled racism creeping in.

No I'm not name changing actually.

I think people are being unfairly critical and nitpicking over things that don't matter instead of focussing on the politics of it all. Why is he a moron? Why use language like that?

I think YABU. We are just fed up of out of touch mega rich PMs who only serve their own kind rather than thinking in the interest of the nation as a whole.

All his policies seem bunkum - Rwanda, National Service, Eat out to help out. He comes across as clueless and out of touch. This is unrelated to his race.

Agree OP.
It's thinly veiled.

You’re wrong, Liz Truss got as much (if not more) and so did David Cameron. Don’t be silly

Are you name changing and starting multiple threads to just fuel race baiting?

Has it occurred to you that he may just be a moron? And an incompetent politician?

I don’t blame Rishi. He is just a front for lots of clowns behind the curtain!
