That’s arguably the problem. When they’re not willing to be honest and straight with people from the off, with the most basic things, then it just becomes much easier to twist the truth later.That's not a concept that comes easy to any of them ............allegedly
Not only extremely rich. You can't become extremely rich in a country like that without also being corrupt. It kinda comes with the territory, even if you don't want to.I think his family were part of the Iraqi government and in private businesses. We all know that the Iraqi government looked after and kept the money for themselves so I’d suggest they were extremely rich to get a pass to our country.
His grandfather was governor of the Bank of Iraq.I think his family were part of the Iraqi government and in private businesses. We all know that the Iraqi government looked after and kept the money for themselves so I’d suggest they were extremely rich to get a pass to our country.
Lol, I thought it was something high up in Iraq. As IWS says in the previous post, you don’t get to hold that position by being a nice person, and would have been flush with money.His grandfather was governor of the Bank of Iraq.
Shame his mum didn’t reach for the plentiful supply of contraception pills.It’s like Sunak always mentioning his mother, working in a chemists, rather than mentioning his father, working as a GP. They’d gain more respect if they just told people the truth.
See even people who hate the fucker can’t bring themselves to suggest criminal charges. We’ve been conditioned to accept this idea that there’s nothing wrong with rich people dodging taxes they’re due. The worst that should happen should be that he loses his job and have to pay back what he owes.He should be kicked out as an Mp the corrupt fucker
They don't need to admit it. We already know.Certainly won't be a Tory MP /Minister saying it !
And she owned the chemists, which is not quite the same as 'working' in it!It’s like Sunak always mentioning his mother, working in a chemists, rather than mentioning his father, working as a GP. They’d gain more respect if they just told people the truth.

Sunak smothers himself with glory by taking decisive action the minute its brought to his attention lol
Interesting that they want to give the impression of ‘normality’ and show just how like ‘us’ they are, even if they have to bend facts to do so.And she owned the chemists, which is not quite the same as 'working' in it!
These cunts will spin anything to try and make them look more 'normal'.
Won't be long before the next one, and I forecast there'll be a greater number of political rogues found with both hands in the till than Erling Haaland hat tricks in 2023.Another self-serving twat gets found out. I wonder who'll be next?
I agree with your overall point that we shouldn't think "ethnic minority = poor/disadvantaged", especially when it comes to Zahawi specifically. And there are big differences between different minority groups - Indians as opposed to Pakistanis, for example. But you're wrong about (most) Africans in the UK. For example, "only 2% of Black African households were in the wealthiest fifth of British households pre-pandemic, while more than half were in the least wealthy fifth." https://ifs.org.uk/inequality/press...in-education-but-wages-and-wealth-lag-behind/Rags to riches? The man went to two different independent schools, but because he started out in a comp, that's apparently rags to riches. There's this idea that any immigrant that isn't a billionaire is somehow underprivileged. It's bollocks. I remember reading a statistic that the kids of African immigrants are far more likely to study medicine, and I was thinking, "Of course they are. Half their parents are already doctors." Most immigrants from outside of Europe are comfortably upper-middle class in their own country. I think it comes from this American idea where everything has to be seen through the lens of race, so we end up with the absurd situation of congratulating a billionaire for overcoming the barriers in his life to become the first Asian PM, and are treated to a cabinet that is one of the most diverse in history in every sense except which school you went to and how much your dad earned.
