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

You mean his mother who, like his father, came into the country with very little, worked extremely hard to first educate themselves and then build good careers in healthcare, and then provided their three children with extremely good educations so that they could all gone on to enjoy highly successful careers, thanks in no small part to the work ethic instilled by their parents?

Yeah, what a shit background that is. Definitely something people on here should all have a good sneer at.

Pathetic.

Your version of his parents’ life stories bare little relation to reality. They arrived in the UK as teenagers in the 1960s and their parents (Sunak’s grandparents) were middle class with careers in the civil service and professions. The family did well and worked hard but it was hardly a rags to riches story like you’re suggesting. His grandad was a tax inspector and got an MBE as an example of their standing in the local community. Compared to a lot of people Sunak’s parents had relatively privileged middle class upbringings. Nothing wrong with that but they certainly didn’t escape from poverty through hard work and sacrifice. It was more a case of having a stable relatively affluent upbringing that gave them opportunities that they took.

I had to laugh, really did. A delightful little narrative you’ve provided there.

You are right of course (when aren’t you!), as everyone knows his grandparents were loaded when they arrived in the UK, his maternal grandfather in particular having worked as a Tanzanian customs clerk. As is widely accepted, the Tanzanian civil service were famously high payers back in the day. When you also take into account the generally higher standard of living in 1960s Tanzania, his maternal grandfather would have been immediately elevated into the upper middle classes upon his arrival in the UK.

Strangely, it’s often reported that his maternal grandmother had arrived in the UK months earlier in order earn money as a bookkeeper, as they couldn’t all afford to travel to the UK initially, but this must be nonsense given his grandfather’s Tanzanian civil service wage. Presumably once he was in the UK he took the lowly paid job in HMRC just for something to do, and through sheer bravado and the bare minimum effort over the following 30 year career, managed to somehow reach a senior position which also brought an MBE.

Moving on to his parents, as you say, it’s quite clear that there was no hard work and sacrifice involved with them given their own parents’ wealth and privilege. They would have grown up knowing nothing but prosperity as East African immigrants. A doctor and a pharmacist who wanted to provide their kids with good educations, and worked hard to provide it - chancers the pair of them!

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.
