What has happened in this country

  Usual deflection

Says the person ignoring the question!

Go on, prove me wrong and show me up by telling us what you think is a insult based on someone's race or religion in that thread.

  And yet we have a full thread on Priti Patel started  by BST where she has been called some quite vile near to the bone things.
   Is it that she and the Chancellor by some quirk of fate are the wrong sort of black, or just that they happen to be coloured but members of the Tory party? which would be a real reason to be hated according to some of you. Which is no different to hating because of race and colour.
  Is there any real difference between people seen as racial, and people who hate and belittle people because of their politics? some on here are well qualified to answer surely.

Is this a serious question in Britain in the 21st century?

Is there any difference between 'hating' someone for being born a particular colour or from a particular race and 'hating' them for choosing to represent a particular political ideology you disagree with?

Seriously, you have to ask this?

If either Patel or Sunak have been subject to abuse or other degrading treatment because of their ethnicity, that is utterly disgusting.

If you have examples of prominent people doing that, please post them Selby.
