First word that comes into your head when describing Rishi Sunak.

[Brewster's millions]

Thanks for confirming that his grandparents worked hard to give his parents a good start which ensured that little Rishi had a relatively privileged middle class upbringing.

And thanks for paraphrasing my post beyond recognition.

Thanks for showing yourself up again with your trademark petty jealousy - the thought of people working hard, getting on in life and providing a good education for their kids clearly annoys you.

But, given your track record, we’ll probably find out eventually that you were actually voting for Sunak all along.

It doesn’t annoy me in the slightest. I’m all for people making the best of the opportunities they are given whether they’ve had to start from nothing or if they start from a privileged position. What’s mildly irritating is when they exaggerate the hardships that they had and it’s amusing to see mugs like you lap it up.

Clearly it annoys you as you felt the need to have a pop this morning at something I wrote yesterday regarding Sunak’s parents.

The irony being of course is that if you had actually read what I posted before you got on your high horse (which admittedly doesn’t happen that often), at no point did I try to pretend that Sunak was a member of any particular class when he was growing up. I simply stated that his parents had come into the UK with very little, something which anybody without a chip on their shoulder would tend to accept.

That clearly excludes you however. Then you proceed to claim that I’m a mug for believing stories of exaggerated hardship which, funnily enough, I haven’t referenced or claimed to be true. A bit odd, particularly with you then stating that you wouldn’t have a problem with people working hard and getting on anyway. Seems more like you’re having an argument with yourself rather than me.

Anyway, before I depart for the day and enjoy a bit of the sunshine in the garden, it’s interesting that you claim Sunak exaggerates the hardships of his upbringing. I don’t really see this to be honest, at least not relative to others.

He clearly wastes no time in telling people that his parents were GP/pharmacists, but I would think that doing this marks you out fairly clearly as being middle class. I think Sunak emphasises his parents’ work ethic more than fabricating hardships, and he seems more comfortable and authentic with his background than Starmer. I’m afraid Starmer’s ‘my Dad worked in a factory and was looked down on by everyone, even though he owned his own business, worked for himself and answered to nobody routine’ is about as contrived as it gets, and frankly makes him look like a bit of a bullshitter who is completely out of touch with working class people.

First word I think of is "fucking". Second, third and fourth words are "incompetent", "Prime" and "Minister", if you're interested.
