The New P.m.

I am not being funny/racist or anything, but I think the next prime minister should be English.
What do you all think??

[Deskdiary]

Anmeasquith at 8.43 - or indeed a FM.

St Urgeon is mired in dishonesty (ask her ‘husband’).

[Khandro]

From the point of view of being fit to be the prime minister of the United Kingdom, It matters not where a person was geographically born, what matters is who your parents & ancestors were.
Sunak was born in Southampton, but from 100% Indian/ Hindu stock.

Stands back & waits for the 'woke' onslaught.

[ynnafymmi]

@21.44.Yes,Gully.And Sturgeon would run naked through a field of large tall nettles just to remain in power in Scotland.

[-SharonA-]

Thanks Gully.

Khandro: //Stands back & waits for the 'woke' onslaught.//

No point really. Everyone can see what you are, it doesn't need pointing out.

[Mozz71]

Ynna //And Sturgeon would run naked through a field of large tall nettles just to remain in power in Scotland.//

Maybe that should be made a condition of any re-election.

[naomi24]

Khandro, I'm not 'woke' - far from it - I utterly detest all that nonsense - but I find your post at 22:58 Sat rather alarming. Do you mean it as it comes across - that you would object to Sunak solely on the grounds that he is from 100% Indian stock?

[dave50]

The original question was not racist, she said English, she did not say white.

[naomi24]

Racism isn't necessarily about colour, dave.

[Khandro]

naomi; I don't object to the man, (though I think he's a creep) or his ethnicity, I object to the suitability of a Hindu from an completely Indian heritage being the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

I think a lot of people think so too but are scared to say it, call me what you want, I really don't care.

[naomi24]

I haven't called you anything, Khandro, but if you're talking about culture, I don't see a problem with a Hindu becoming prime minister. (Not that I want him for Prime Minister - but that's not because he's Hindu).

[saintpeter48]

So if you were American you'd have posted the same regarding Barack Obama?

[Khandro]

saintpeter; I'm not an American, & Barack Obama, was neither a Hindu or an Indian, but I certainly wouldn't want (nor would he want to, I expect) him to be the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, - would you?

[Zacs-Master]

Well, I think that’s made Khandro’s position clear, don’t you, Naomi?

[bednobs]

I all honesty I didn't particularly like it that a Catholic was ru nine our country (when he was) as I am deeply mistrustful of ànyone who believes in all thar God mumbo jumbo. J
when tb was In charge ge didn't APPEAR to let that di tate his policies. I have not much understanding of Hinduism but if whoever it is can keep it out of politics, I don't mind d

[bednobs]

I also don't quite understand why you care about the religion of the pm of a country that's not your home and you do not live in

[Khandro]

bn // a country that's not your home and you do not live in//

I've possibly lived in England longer than you have, I still pay taxes there, & until recently I had another 'home' there, I have children there, & a move back is not yet off the table.

Two questions; (1) Do you believe in heredity? that is to say, the genetic transmission of characteristics from parent to offspring.

(2) Have you travelled extensively in India?

[naomi24]

Khandro, do you think Sunak's religion affects the way he does his job? Has it affected it up until now?

[bobbinwales]

I always feel uncomfortable when anyone says... 'I'm not racist but....'

[Khandro]

n. //do you think Sunak's religion affects the way he does his job? Has it affected it up until now?//

Probably, but who's to know? Some contenders are Muslims, that would certainly effect their world view, decision making and how they ran the country

Can you too answer my question 1 above
