Rishi Sunak reacted to a Channel 4 undercover investigation that found a Reform campaigner calling him a “f***ng P***”with a heartfelt response about how upset and angry he was that his daughters had to hear him being called such things in this country.
It was interesting but not surprising that Rishi focused on his daughters rather than himself, because as a Tory person of colour he is not afforded the “privilege” to be impacted by racism. In what is one of the most bizarre examples of Left-wing mainstream political culture in this country, it has become acceptable that when a Conservative politician is racially abused people just seem to turn a blind eye and move on — or worse, actually justify the abuse because Tories of colour are seen as some kind of race traitors.
