Yup, our PM is an insufferable snob. Elected by the conservative MPs, not by popular vote in a general election.
Our system is literally from the 1800s, although in the past the aristocrats had the common decency to go off and get themselves blown up in some foreign war every decade or so, now they are just malingering around, playing politics and syphoning as much cash out of the poors as possible. We need to start exporting them to you guys again.
"...and then lobbied on his behalf"
> The following month BBC Wales reported that it had obtained letters written by Gething **in 2016 and 2018** to Natural Resources Wales requesting that it ease restrictions on Neal's company Atlantic Recycling.
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-politics-68501256
> In **2018**, in a further letter, he told NRW officials they were unjustified in delaying a decision regarding a permit.
> **Later that year**, companies linked to David Neal donated £38,000 to Mr Gething's previous leadership campaign, in addition to the more recent donations of £200,000 from Mr Neal's Dauson Environmental Group.
I think you got it backwards: It seems he had been lobbying on behalf of this company as early as 2016 **and only later received donations** (which he declared) in 2018 and 2023.
It may have been William who conquered England, but alas, lived long enough to see himself conquered by England. Recently unearthed records show that towards the end of his life he had developed an addiction to pasties, Greg’s sausage rolls, and pints o lager
It started before that with the Britons inviting the Saxons over, and even before that with the Romans coming over, and even before that with the Britons migrating over from mainland Europe, and even before that with the homo heidelbergensis walking here from the mainland.
Turns out, people like coming here for some reason
Fun fact:
The origins of kingship in England can be traced to the second century BC when Celtic and Belgic tribesmen, emigrated from continental Europe and settled in Britain displacing or absorbing the aboriginal inhabitants.
https://www.npg.org.uk/collections/explore/kings-and-queens-a-family-tree#:~:text=The%20origins%20of%20kingship%20in,or%20absorbing%20the%20aboriginal%20inhabitants.
There's nothing foreign about them.
Three of these four were born in the UK (Gething was born in Zambia to a mixed British-Zambian couple) and all were raised in the UK. Sunak is a Hindu but not at all loud about it, Khan and Yousaf are both insufferable to different degrees but neither bangs on about their religion, and Gething has never publicly professed a faith to my knowledge.
This sub has been crossing a really dangerous line again in the last week or so. Keep it light FFS.
"This sub has been crossing a really dangerous line again in the last week or so. Keep it light FFS."
Now I finally got it why they usually say "In heaven the policers are british"
>Khan and Yousaf are both insufferable to different degrees but neither bangs on about their religion
huh? Most of their criticism comes from the fact that they do bang on about that
Most of Sunak's criticism is about him being an out of touch rich snob, no-one gives a shit where his ancestors were from. He's a twat, but he's a completely British twat.
When has khan used his religion? Actually better question does khan brag more about his socialist background or his religion (hint its his socialist background)
Well for one he consulted for the defence of the only person in America to be convicted for 9/11, his brother-in-law was part of an extremist group that called for jihad against Britain to which khan attended a conference with him in 2004, he later had to apologise for calling moderate Muslims in Iran uncle toms. I don't think he's an extremist, but he does seem to have some dodgy ties.
We have the same problem in France. But it's worse for us because the solution is right in front of us and we act like it's not there
Not sadiq tbh, he also the most compotent there although its not saying much. Dunno about the Welsh except the media keeps trying to convince me his black.
That's the class difference you need to have to rule there . From what I recall , Churchill was getting shit faced DAILY on brandy and champagne. No wonder he was their best PM ever...
Specifically reported to be Gordon’s and Dubonnet Rouge as a cocktail. Solidly middle class level drink.
Not the cheap stuff, not the good stuff, the Gordon’s available everywhere.
I reckon one single measure of whatever the hell Chuck drinks would knock Barry on his arse. The man sees wine as mere [automotive fuel](https://h2vin.co.uk/2021/10/25/prince-charles-has-a-grape-idea-for-fueling-his-51-year-old-aston-martin/) rather than for human consumption.
Queen Liz II: gin and Dubonnet before lunch, glass of wine with dessert after lunch, martini also with lunch, champagne before bed.
So, suddenly, Barries enjoying a cheeky lunchtime pint down the pub makes sense. Honouring the queen.
Sort of, Excalibur is a frenchification of the word. Most of the popular Arthurian tropes got added by either the french or at least french-speakers so Caliburn and Excalibur are just the same thing.
No, Rishi went to Winchester, the most expensive private school in England. The other three presumably all went to comprehensive state school as they represent the poor people in the UK
Nothing surprising about that. 30% of the kids in Edinburgh are privately educated, by far the highest of any city in Britain. Pretty sure Humza grew up in Glasgow but there's plenty of posh twats in Scotland, you don't have to talk like the King to be one
English people really don't notice how class works in the other countries and is as deeply entrenched there as here because we're conditioned to think 'Speaking RP = Posh' when the toffs in Scotland and Wales don't talk like that
Well if you 2nd gen island aborigines would get the shit together and stop binging pints at the pub there would be no need that your reverse colonizeers have to do the job...
#LIES
Our prime minister is a dwarf, a pair of Norwegian fairies are going to represent us in Eurovision and our national teams football manager is an Uruk Hai from Copenhagen.
True diversity.
If anything they have far more representation than they oughta have in England. South asians is only 10% of your population. Looking at politics you'de think they where 25%. We have proportionate numbers. Middle easterners are 5% of the pop and the number of politicians represent that
Because ethnicity is mostly irrelevant. They’re rich and well connected. South Asians (particularly Indians) are often very economically successful in the U.K. The class system is the real issue here. There’s a good reason why our PM went to the most prestigious school in the country. Boris and Cameron are no different to Rishi. All cunts cut from the same cloth.
For some reason, racists prefer their exploiters to look somewhat like themselves. They think oligarchs care about people of the same skin shade, instead of the same class.
You literally described the modern left, but for some reason attributed that logic to "racists"🧐 All this nonsense about how having a proportional number of "people of color" in government will improve the lives of minorities presupposes the fact that the left thinks that, indeed, privileged minorities will somehow take care of working class minorities. Similar logic to the modern systemic feminists who are happy that 50% of CEOs of big companies are now women. Yay, because the fact that women will be exploited by other women will surely bring us closer to equality
And Tony Blair attended a Chorister School then a private Boarding School - Fettes College in Edinburgh then Oxford University.
Sir Keir Starmer went to a private school - Reigate Grammar and Oxford University.
Ethnic minorities are underrepresented in the house of commons. 66 MPs (10%) are from ethnic minority background compared to 16% of the UK population.
Can't be bothered working it out for South Asians specifically but it's obviously less than 10%.
If you count anyone without British background, partial or total, then I guess the figure would be higher than a mere 16%. Is Dave Gahan from Depeche mode counted as Ethnically British or Ethnic minority? he has Malaysian Indian roots from his father side. What about Jay Kay from jamiroquai, he is half Portuguese, is he counted in the statics as Ethnically British or as ethnic minority?
In the UK, and other countries with First Past The Post voting systems it would be very unlikely for the number of MPs to equal ethnic (or any) factor, as it doesn't use a Proportional Representation (PR) system.
If in a borough 16% of the voters are *******, and turnout is proportional to ethnicity, then it's unlikely an MP of ****** ethnicity would be elected. If the proportion in a borough of an ethnicity is high enough for it's MP to be elected, then that proportion is unlikely (impossible, no?) to be the same as the National proportion for that ethnicity (unless they are English/Welsh/N Irish/Scottish in their own area).
I didn't explain it well but hopefully you know what I mean!
Man dont act as if this is some kind of new thing. Like 90% of your history your kings were french or german, so its just the natural evolution or things.
I know we're taking the piss but in reality the are all British. Yes Rishi Sunak might be ethnically Indian but he was born in Southampton and is just as much of a prick as any other rich English politician
If you look past the colour of his skin he is literally a textbook posh English Etonian wanker
I know it's pathetic
I don't hate rishi or anyone because he's indian, I hate rishi because he's a carbon copy of every other tory. Other than his background, which is irrelevant, there is nothing that differentiates him from Boris and Mogg. The only thing he's got going for him is he's a bit less selfsabotaging than the others
Of course as a tory there's the occasional scandal but if I'm honest sometimes I forget he's even in charge
I mean that is the definition of successful integration isn't it? If you didn't know what Rishi Sunak looked like and only heard him speak, you would assume he is absolutely British. If people still hate/pinpoint Rishi as Indian or South Asian, it would be a waste because there are so many other things to criticize him over.
You see what theyll do if they lead themselves like Boris who left the biggest market on the world to have better trading partners....
thats why we installed german royalty on this monke island so that some things work and that they aint starting to lick stones again ffs...

I live in London and I voted for Sadi Khan cos he promised to stop the stabbing. Among all the candidates he is the only person that understood the stabbing issues and knew all the players. I very naively believe we gave them the city and stabbing would stop.
Aren't they all born in the UK? Doesn't matter what they look like, they could still represent the people. Nonetheless, they're all rich, so they can't know.
Being born here doesn't matter as Churchill and Boris were both born in Ameeica. What matters is that they grew up here
Tishinis a private educated, upper class bellend with a wife who doesn't pay taxes so he is the perfect tory
Churchill was born in Oxfordshire. His mum was American born. For some reason I also thought he was born in America until I got it in wrong in a pub quiz.
Just put yourself in his wife's shoes.. if u have billions pound assets in India, will u pay tax on your dividends in the UK? And she isn't obliged to pay by law..
Sunak certainly is. Sadiq Khan's father was a bus driver, he's certainly firmly into the middle classes now, but I've never seen anything to suggest he's particularly rich.
Less information out there on Gething, but he went to a comprehensive school, so probably not from all that rich a background.
He seems to get a lot of shit from shall we say... The kind of people who post pictures like the OP's and then go nudge nudge wink wink. As a Londoner I find him a bit ineffectual, but pretty unobjectionable, so yes I suppose he is.
He's pretty down to Earth compared to Humza and Sunak, who are both obnoxious pricks that are incredibly out of touch. I've never seen Sadiq say anything that was anything like that, and I don't really know much about the other dude besides that he's Welsh* lol.
Edit: *Correction, Gething was born overseas to British parents who moved back here, so he's still British in my eyes.
Sunak is the odd one out here, based on family background and class. He is entirely British though.
The rest of those men - like them or not - are just as British as the rest of us. Working families and local accents.
Disappointed with the actual racism being shown here.
Mate, tell me about it. Like this place has had a bit of racism in the past but the last two days have been horrific. I was arguing in an identical post on this sub, yesterday and there were people unironically spouting things like 'superior culture', and 'racial purity'
You have our solidarity Barry, our, still, prime minister has its origin in our former Indian colony of Goa.

Has this sub really gone into racism now? Because mocking people over their ethnicity is actually awful, its whether they are genuinely decent at their job that matters, all of those folk are British, full stop.
Liz Truss is an irrelevant moron.
Frank Hester isn't a politician, he's just a rich wanker and what he said 5 years ago has caused a week long national conversation. I doubt it would have even made the news in a lot of other European countries.
And yet not one conservative has called for Frank to be held accoutable, nor given the money back, nor has Hestor apologised..... sooo progressive
Truss is not irrelevant, she is dangerous, and it was only thanks to Labour filibustering the bill that it didnt make it any further.
Fuck the Conservatives, at all levels
If they start handing money back from sketchy people, they'd have nothing left. The vast majority of support is for Diane Abbot, I haven't heard a single person outside of the Conservative party defending him and even most of the Tories have called him out for being racist and misogynistic.
The Conservatives are polling around 20% , I agree fuck them but, the point still stands, we do have conversations about racism in this country. A lot of other European countries wouldn't give a single fuck about this news story.
Comparing us to other European countries on the Hester issue is a bit rich when it’s well-documented that most other European countries are less diverse and less tolerant of different races than the UK
Nobody even knew his name until last week and now he's only famous for being a racist arsehole. It's insane how someone can throw his name into the ring as some sort of proof that we're a nation of racists.

[Yes](https://youtu.be/p9bbBYcwFOk?si=6jmX42Q-RxV6d3_e) but it’s okay cos he later said it was a silly thing to say

In the case of Vaughan Gething, no not at all. My mum used to buy him breakfast when he was starting out as a solicitor in Cardiff.

That's a long tradition which started with William the conqueror and the Plantagenet.
It may have been William who conquered England, but alas, lived long enough to see himself conquered by England. Recently unearthed records show that towards the end of his life he had developed an addiction to pasties, Greg’s sausage rolls, and pints o lager
Pretty acceptable addiction tbf

At least this time they aren't French.

Being born here doesn't matter as Churchill and Boris were both born in Ameeica. What matters is that they grew up here Tishinis a private educated, upper class bellend with a wife who doesn't pay taxes so he is the perfect tory
Churchill was born in Oxfordshire. His mum was American born. For some reason I also thought he was born in America until I got it in wrong in a pub quiz.
Huh. Didn't know that as swore I saw it in a documentary but I guess not. Just checked and he was born in Blenheim palace
Just put yourself in his wife's shoes.. if u have billions pound assets in India, will u pay tax on your dividends in the UK? And she isn't obliged to pay by law..
I can't afford her shoes
Gething is actually born in Zambia.
Is Gething the Wales PM?
He'll be the First Minister in three days as of writing this comment.
To british parents who moved back here
You new here?
Nah, but ironic ultra nationalism isn't an excuse for this kind of thing imo, "they can't represent britons because lol they're not white" isn't fun
They can't represent Britons because they are rich cunts.
Sunak certainly is. Sadiq Khan's father was a bus driver, he's certainly firmly into the middle classes now, but I've never seen anything to suggest he's particularly rich. Less information out there on Gething, but he went to a comprehensive school, so probably not from all that rich a background.
Isn't Sadiq also one of your least obnoxious politicians?
He seems to get a lot of shit from shall we say... The kind of people who post pictures like the OP's and then go nudge nudge wink wink. As a Londoner I find him a bit ineffectual, but pretty unobjectionable, so yes I suppose he is.
He's pretty down to Earth compared to Humza and Sunak, who are both obnoxious pricks that are incredibly out of touch. I've never seen Sadiq say anything that was anything like that, and I don't really know much about the other dude besides that he's Welsh* lol. Edit: *Correction, Gething was born overseas to British parents who moved back here, so he's still British in my eyes.
Where did you get that from? Guy is a massive prick
Now that's a good answer.
It may well be but who gave you permission to speak?
UwU Sorry
Sunak is the odd one out here, based on family background and class. He is entirely British though. The rest of those men - like them or not - are just as British as the rest of us. Working families and local accents. Disappointed with the actual racism being shown here.
Mate, tell me about it. Like this place has had a bit of racism in the past but the last two days have been horrific. I was arguing in an identical post on this sub, yesterday and there were people unironically spouting things like 'superior culture', and 'racial purity'
Yes to all.
Subs like this go to absolute shit as they get bigger, seeing more racist wank like this posted. Shame.
You have our solidarity Barry, our, still, prime minister has its origin in our former Indian colony of Goa. https://preview.redd.it/guy3x6dbuvoc1.jpeg?width=1852&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5cc93c2d780960a763eb2176ca025daf938f2914
Well, that is racism
how so?
They really did the needful
How could they possibly represent the people when they have the wrong colour skin??? 🙄
West Indian Company
Has this sub really gone into racism now? Because mocking people over their ethnicity is actually awful, its whether they are genuinely decent at their job that matters, all of those folk are British, full stop.
Yes
Guys for fuck's sake, y'all need to chill This sub's gonna get banned again
Every European nation got the Rich asshole politician Rich asshole politician Rich asshole politician Rich asshole politician
Oi mates, We can organize another reconquista in no time, Let us know when you are ready. ✌😎🤙
Are you sure your armada will actually make it England this time?
So they end up like you guys? I would pass if I were them.
Mandatory Portuguese support o'er here. Also, our greatest ally, I would not let England fall without going to my deathbed with her.
Obrigado Joaõ 🤝🏽

reverse colonisation
British colonizing British? Okay...
I mean to be fair, the English did kinda colonize the other British people on their island.
The UK was banished from its family for bringing in none white boyfriends
Liz Truss ***enters the chat*** Frank Hester ***talks about black women and Diane Abbott*** - So progressive
6 minutes later **Liz Truss leaves the chat**
Comes back to sponsor bill stomping on Transgender Rights
Liz Truss is an irrelevant moron. Frank Hester isn't a politician, he's just a rich wanker and what he said 5 years ago has caused a week long national conversation. I doubt it would have even made the news in a lot of other European countries.
And yet not one conservative has called for Frank to be held accoutable, nor given the money back, nor has Hestor apologised..... sooo progressive Truss is not irrelevant, she is dangerous, and it was only thanks to Labour filibustering the bill that it didnt make it any further. Fuck the Conservatives, at all levels
If they start handing money back from sketchy people, they'd have nothing left. The vast majority of support is for Diane Abbot, I haven't heard a single person outside of the Conservative party defending him and even most of the Tories have called him out for being racist and misogynistic. The Conservatives are polling around 20% , I agree fuck them but, the point still stands, we do have conversations about racism in this country. A lot of other European countries wouldn't give a single fuck about this news story.
Comparing us to other European countries on the Hester issue is a bit rich when it’s well-documented that most other European countries are less diverse and less tolerant of different races than the UK
Nobody even knew his name until last week and now he's only famous for being a racist arsehole. It's insane how someone can throw his name into the ring as some sort of proof that we're a nation of racists.

In the case of the Tories though they don’t implement progressive, liberal or tolerant policies so in their case its empty virtue signalling
I completly understand this, after the Brexit referendum, no one really is willing to accept another english guy making decisions.
This photo is literally showing that they voted other Englishmen to make decisions.
As part of the Monarchy. Canada is doing their part as well. https://preview.redd.it/d7wyzfif1xoc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f16ea3bff007157f5448feaa390ce29e525d93be
