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

I agree some of the criticism is racist or 'dog whistle', especially that from Nigel Farage the other day. However:

I think some is because his family are wealthy.
I think some of it is because he was prepared to accept things most people would not to get ahead, such as working for Boris Johnson under terms set by Dominic Cummings.
I think some is from poor decisions such as Eat out to Help out.

The comments about his height are unreasonable too, though would be said about any man below average height (Nicolas Sarkozy had a lot, for example).

Above all, even though I think he is less bad than Liz Truss or the traitor Boris Johnson, he is still one of the worst Prime Ministers in recent times.

I thought exactly the same...

What, david the pigfucker?

It was seen as terribly common to have a sky dish! We didn’t have it either, not because we couldn’t afford it, but because DM would have been too embarrassed to have one stuck on the side of the house.

(We watched it on holiday)

No. It’s because he is a selfish and deluded little twerp. Newsflash - people of colour can be twats too. As can women. See Liz Truss for clarification.
And let’s not forget the clearly racist Suella too.

I wonder why?

Please don't with the race baiting.

I think more than anything, it's because he's a tory, and everyone loves to hate on tories!

Don't be ridiculous, Boris was called a lot worst and taken the piss out of much more!

Well put.

We the electorate are free to call out incompetence and corruption, regardless of the colour of skin of that person displaying said incompetence and corruption.

Claiming that you wanting Sky Tv was a sacrifice you made in order to be able to go to one of the most exclusive private schools in the country seems to be quite out of touch tbf.

Of course many people will have racist views about him.
It’s Johnson I really can’t stand. Rishi sunak is too privileged I just wonder why he’s bothering to do the job, when he clearly couldn’t really give a shit about normal people.

I like Rishi he comes across as a decent guy trying to do his best with very little .
I think the relentless shitstorm that follows him is whipped up by the media hanging up every word ready to crucify him .
The only question I have is why , why the hell would anyone want to be a politician.

Cuntiness is objective, obviously. In my opinion he is a cunt for many reasons including but not limited to the following

Diverting funds and resources away from socioeconomically deprived communities and giving it to already wealthy areas. He was caught on video boasting about this, which you could argue makes him a stupid cunt as well as an immoral one.

The Rwanda plan- callous, morally reprehensible, not to mention expensive and completely unworkable but he'll keep flogging that dead horse anyway because he's a stubborn and arrogant cunt who seems incapable of admitting he's wrong. The Rwanda plan is in itself racist and nothing will convince me otherwise.

Vowed to restore integrity to British politics when he was made PM then proceeded to give the loathsome Suella Braverman her job back just days after she was sacked for breaking the ministerial code in exchange for her backing his campaign because he's a self-serving cunt who puts his personal ambition before his country.

He defended Boris Johnson, made excuses for him and lied for him repeatedly when it suited his own political ambitions, then as soon as it no longer suited him he changed his tune. See above reference to him being a self-serving cunt. In the first TV debate against Starmer he kept saying he doesn't want to focus on the past because the truth is he was very much complicit in all the BoJo chaos, corruption and incompetence as much as he'd like to distance himself from it now because he's a disingenuous cunt.

He is completely out of touch with the lives of the people he claims to represent and the more he tries to appear relatable the more out of touch he seems. Asking a homeless man if he is "in business", pretending to put petrol in someone else's car, and now the whole Sky TV thing, trying to look down with the kids in his shiny white fresh out of the box Adidas sambas...it's one embarrassing PR gaffe after another, which makes him an embarrassing cunt.

One of his election campaign buzz words is "big ideas" but unfortunately all his big ideas seem to be shit. Bringing back National service, forcing kids to study maths until 18, the whole song and dance about chess in schools... gimmick after gimmick while our public services are crumbling and the economy is fucked, which makes him look like a daft cunt.

I won't deny that racism might well play a part in the criticism and dislike of him, but I maintain that there are many good reasons to loathe him. It's a shame that our first non-white PM happens to be a cunt as this will no doubt be seen by some racist individuals as giving legitimacy to their awful views. It could also make it more difficult for other less cunty non-white politicians to rise to prominence in the future, just as Liz Truss being utterly shit has probably made it even more difficult for women in politics to be taken seriously.

I think it's more because he's part of the Tory liar crew.

Absolutely not he is a horrible human being and yes I'm non white

I hate all Tories equally so you're not pinning that on me 😁

We didn't have Sky growing up either. He's virtually the same age as me and it wasn't actually that big (and way more expensive) back then than it is today.

It also didn't come about until 1990. So like me Sky didn't exist for most of our childhood and he was 10 when it actually came about FFS.

Boris Johnson got a lot of criticism.
As did Margaret Thatcher

Tony Blair got criticism
So did Corbyn

No

Well said!

I think people have just come to the end of their tethers with these Tory PMs and their corruption and incompetence to be honest. He's just the latest one. The country is in an appalling mess. Everyone was slagging Liz Truss and Boris off too just as much.

Laughable really. As if we care about his ethnicity. We care about the fact that’s he’s an utter twat, and the reason that Labour will get in. God help us.
