I.e. apart from nutters who call radio stations, it's much more subtle. Having said that, I genuinely don't like Sunak personally.

[@utopian_blossom]

That is Rishi Sunak’s own money that his family and he have earned. I don’t understand why there’s so much hate because of his wealth. The German origin British royal family did not earn their own wealth. The Johnson and Goldsmith family did not face discrimination for their skin colour, yet Sunak has still superseded them in wealth. It’s important when one is so privileged, to use their wealth wisely, Prince William is starting to do that with his recent project to tackle homelessness in the UK. Maybe Sunak could be more charitable, but I don’t resent him for the fortune his family has amassed as it was through their own hard work. What I have noticed is that often the same people hating the Sunaks for their wealth, by contrast have no problem with the get rich quick Kartrashians and their ilk.

You can make it all about race if you want Trevor, but you're missing a few key things that are the real reason why many of us non racist British don't like him. 1) He was a hedge fund manager during the 2008 financial crash and made obscene amounts of money from the misery of millions of other people. 2) He said, as you showed, that he works for his party - but the man is supposed to work for his country. 3) This man represents the banks that run all our governments now, not just here but in America and many other countries too - and this is not just an erosion of democracy, _it is an hostile take over._ Let's not celebrate just because he's brown, eh? He is brown by a complete accident of birth, it signifies nothing to a non racist. Let's not celebrate because he is obscenely wealthy eh? Wealth is a signifier of inhumanity (A pound hoarded by a millionaire, is a pound denied the use of by a working, yet starving family.). These things would be short sighted, weak and populist. I say watch the man do something first, and let's not celebrate the fact that a notorious bunch of right wing racists tories were forced (against their will) to choose the loser of their latest leadership contest. Jacob Rees-Mogg resigned rather than serve in the Cabinet under a brown man, he is obviously a right wing racist. This man Sunak is Prime Sinister by default only - and he hasn't done anything yet. What is to celebrate? The fact that he was accidentally born brown, and his party were forced to choose him? Seems like an odd thing to celebrate Brother. Watch the mans actions before you leap to mere, cheap populist entertainment. I know I am. Peace.

The characterisation of colonialism is also ignorant - e.g there were less than 900 Brits generally in India during colonialisation, government was still managed by the Indian civil service.

[@xoxoxoxo5224]

@Mark Kay Firstly, Noah made a point about the ruling and its management and my comment was in relation to that, your comment regarding takeover is irrelevant; secondly it was Britain, not England, and thirdly, the British did not actively go out and conquer India. Yours is a gross misunderstanding of the complex nuances involved, and as a generality it was mostly executed via trade, divide and conquer, bribery, extortion etc. I revert back to the point I originally made - British troops were not permanently stationed in India and there were often less than 900 British people in India at any one time; there was no active widespread movement for independence generally throughout the rule and Indians continued to rule India. Finally, providing a racist attack on me for correcting someone’s flawed grasp of history speaks for itself.
