The New P.m.

[-SharonA-]

I am not being funny/racist or anything, but I think the next prime minister should be English.
What do you all think??

[Mozz71]

Send him over Gness. We'll soon have guinness on tap in every house and Fairytale of New York the new national anthem. ;-)

[ynnafymmi]

High time we got some Sikh MPs in.Are there any?A PM in a turban would make a nice change,dont you think?

[ichkeria]

At the risk of sounding like peter (sorry peter :-) ) this thread really isn't answerbank's finest hour is it

I reckon the next PM should be humanoid.
And maybe lie a bit less often

[Tilly2]

I know she's English but...

[Mozz71]

I'm kinda with Ichy. I don't care where they were born or which God they follow (although no God would be preferable in my eyes), as long as they are competent and put the needs of the people first and foremost.

[ichkeria]

All I can say is thank the Lord they've sped the process up: Bill Wiggins is standing I believe.
I don't want to be unkind but, really ...

[jno]

she's already getting the lying down pat

//Nadine Dorries has been widely criticised for an “extraordinary” interview in which she repeatedly insisted Boris Johnson “tells the truth” hours after he spread misinformation in the House of Commons.//

Wow! Guarantee Mayo wins Sam, Mozz and I’ll do it!

[Hopkirk]

If only we had insisted on English born, we could have avoided Blair and Brown.
Boris was born in New York.

"this thread really isn't answerbank's finest hour is it"

Right up with TheLand's New Year's Eve racist diatribe.

But he wasn't a racist either, was he? Especially now that he's dead...

[THECORBYLOON]

Labour has a couple of Sikh MPs, Preet Kaur Gill and Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi who wears a turban.

[237SJ]

It's strange when someone mentions a person that isn't English - people immediately assume they are talking about someone with black or brown skin. That wouldn't occur to me. A non-English person could be anyone.

[Deskdiary]

I think the next PM should be the one one that allows me to keep more of my money.

If that turns out to be a transgender one armed lesbian Pygmy with no legs and a stutter, I really couldn’t give a tinker’s cuss.

[ichkeria]

I think our next PM should be Finnish …

At a rock festival today …

[Deskdiary]

Blimey o’ Riley, I’ve just seen the picture Ich posted.

Forget what I said.

Ich has just won Answerbank.

[Gromit]

Boris was born in America.
So I agree, no fake english men or women.

[gulliver1]

Do not remind TTT that Boris is a Septic .

[Peter Pedant]

dear old PP writes
The PM should be the best person for the job

and others pile in enthusiastically

.At the risk of sounding like peter (sorry peter :-) ...I reckon the next PM should be humanoid.....Itchy

I'm kinda with Ichy. the Mozza

then you are with Peter, Mozza, not matter how constipated and reluctant, you make it sound. I am not trying to be Botchy, otchy
(please make the required vowel change)
O lardy lardy

can I join in - - my muzza - was born in Bombay and tolerated around 50y of the open mouthed ( oh a lot of ABers down in Dorset then) asking "then why arent you brown?"
British Raj in case you too were wondering

Oh and, (this is very very hard) someone came up to me and said - "oh I heard you were Anglo-indian" and I said, "no my grandfather was British Raj." and yeah the person asking was...... anglo indian
eek ! (big thing, mixed race and so unpopular with both groups, that they had reserved jobs on the railways. - genealogical centre, Nagpur, should anyone be interested)

The glorious times of the Indian Empire - am I allowed to say that in 2022 ?

[ichkeria]

“Ich has just won Answerbank.”

I do my best :-)

[Peter Pedant]
