Sunak is still considered a bloody foreigner. So are Suella Braverman, Kemi Badenoch, Priti Patel, James Cleverly and others in denial about British racism
Nigel Farage injected virulence into the righteous anger at Rishi Sunak . Fair enough, you might think, just electoral opportunism. But then the Reform leader injected virulence into the righteous anger. It’s what he does. He averred that Sunak’s departure from the D-day commemorations showed “he doesn’t understand our culture”, and therefore, by implication, can’t be an authentic patriot.
Performative repudiations followed. Cabinet minister Mel Stride said the comments made him “very uncomfortable” and that he was proud the country has “a British Asian who is right at the top of our government”. Labour’s Shabana Mahmood warned the Reform politician had a “record of seeking to divide communities”.
You can see how obfuscation, deceits and tricks, pride and prejudice have made and boosted Farage and his party.programme. He made unproven statements about people in Oldham not speaking English. When she steadily pressed him about his own bilingual children and bilingualism, later about his immigration numbers – he was all over the place on both – he tried to speak over and disrespect her.
Sunak needs to face some harsh realities. Whatever his patriotic protestations and pathetic declarations about “our country”, he cannot win over a significant number of people, including some Tories. His wealth gives him a shine, that’s all. To some, he is still considered a bloody foreigner. So are Suella Braverman, Kemi Badenoch, Priti Patel, James Cleverly and others of minority heritage who, for decades, have been in denial about British racism.
