I heard this and to me the caller badly articulated an idea when he said Sunak "was not even British"

What he is actually alluding to, I believe, is Sunak's wife's "non-dom" tax status. Whereby she didn't pay the same amount of tax that she would, if she had normalised British tax status.
The colour of Sunak's skin is a non-issue. His South Asian heritage does however have a significant effect. It gives a "relatable face" to predominantly, India and Indian people.

There are some who are desperate for the UK to reconnect and establish more favourable trade with commonwealth nations, none less so than India and its growing consumer base.

As for people being racist. Yes they do exist. Fear has many faces and is a powerful motivator. It can render some void of rationality.


The question people ought to ask themselves. Is whether a former city of London banker, with an estimated worth of £720 million. Has the interest of everyday people of Britain in mind.
Sunak is known for being fiscally prudent. Ian Blackford asked whether benefits would rise at the rate of inflation to which Sunak gave a predictably flippant reply.

Expect austerity and more of it.


agree with all that.

lol, petty nationalist calling from their iphones, samsungs, etc. is this truly an accurate representation of the current-day conservative leaning voter? what ever happened to fiscal responsibility and gov leaving issues to the household and minimizing involvement in social issues.


dont worry, with conservatives in power they will ensure the poor stay poor, although to be more precise, they will do little to improve the standard of living of minimum wage workers.

This. He will point to the exorbitant national debt and the nervous financial markets with which Britain no longer has strong rapport to justify a continuation of austerity. Policy-wise, his main mission is to prevent higher taxes on corporation and the millionaires and make sure that it is the lower-classes which shoulder the bulk of the burden of the current crises. I expect him govern in serious, calm fashion and stabilize the Tories somewhat, but this should still be a slam dunk for Labour.

Agree that is the path we will see the Tories taking.

I listened/watched his first PM questions. As futile and pantomime as it is, the process is a good way to gauge how new leaders will be received.
My instinct tells me that Sunak has the potential to be more popular than I initially gave him credit for.

He went as far to accept mistakes were made with the party's self-indulgence. Repeating that twice. Humility that is rarely seen. He comes across as confident, rational and very well prepared.

Of course those are just appearances. First on Tory agenda will be to deny demands for an election. The pressure is substantial. However, I doubt we can count on the UK press to force the Tories hand

TLDR your concerns are misplaced. You appear concerned he is not 120% british (some might say a racist viewpoint) when instead he should be judged on what he actually achieves (or breaks).


Lets focus on racism little bit. Little offtopic, ok?
When you read articles like this one:
https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-63402337

'Campaigning group Coding Black Females said tech "desperately needed" more people from a range of backgrounds.

Industry bodies acknowledge that "more must be done" to support diversity.'

It looks like we give privilegees to Black woman, just because of their skin colour and sex. We give them additional education, free trainings, probably companies give them bonus points during recrutation to achieve a "proper rate" of Black woman.
We all know that woman on average dont like sitting in front of PC as long as men. How many D2jsp users are women? And please exclude the ones like KittyGalore who just login here to show their beatiful body here to get donations and gifts from male users.
Yet for some reason the article says we "desperately need to employ more black females in tech".
And you are completely fine with that?
That's not racism at all?
How about we ban half of D2jsp males to improve Man vs woman ratio?
Still fine with that? Anyway its not enough, we should ban 90% to make it 50% man, 50% woman.
Or maybe we should just accept that man and woman are different, have different interests and its not good to force 50:50 everywhere?

Sometimes when I see you western guys, I have a feeling you are so "stupid", its just against common sense. Stop being stupid, lol.
