up until the day fully half the country decided to turn insular and vote for Brexit We have the most racially diverse Cabinet ever, elected by a massive majority. Priti and Rishi enjoy huge popularity. Your narrative doesn’t match reality.

Imagine thinking the Conservatives are racially diverse for anything other than point winning, ouch.

  Imagine thinking the Conservatives are racially diverse for anything other than point winning, ouch You really think neither of them are there on merit? Conversely, do you think that Dawn Butler and David Lammy are?

    The problem is with this line of reasoning is that won't work on me because I have dealt with an overly conservative family and government for years. People have merits sure, but they also have agendas.

  Imagine being so racist that you think any non-white person who holds conservative opinions has no agency and is just a pawn being used by his white masters.

> We have the most racially diverse Cabinet ever, elected by a massive majority. Priti and Rishi enjoy huge popularity. insular = ignorant of or uninterested in cultures, ideas, or peoples outside one's own experience. I have examined Priti Patel's statements and behavior. Her moral and cultural compass would be what I would exactly define as insular. For example, going on TV justifying applying the death penalty to innocent people which predominantly affects minority populations. I would strongly suggest watching this short clip of her talking about this in such a ridiculous way. She keeps repeating the phrase "does what it says on the tin" and "ultimate burden of proof" to justify killing innocent people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DrsVhzbLzU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DrsVhzbLzU She's also on record supporting any and all of Israeli policies without accountability. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DrsVhzbLzU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DrsVhzbLzU She's on record bullying people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DrsVhzbLzU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DrsVhzbLzU She's on record making unsubstantiated claims that minorities were refusing vaccines when the data and polling suggests otherwise and some evidence even suggests that authorities are purposely using that as an excuse to deny giving vaccines to minority populations. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/health/priti-patel-downing-street-covid19-briefing-b856071.html https://www.standard.co.uk/news/health/priti-patel-downing-s... , https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-9316345/Comedian-Paul-Chowdhry-reveals-mother-died-denied-Covid-vaccine.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-9316345/Comedi... In short, Priti Patel is a pretty insular personality, ie: a person who just happens to have brown skin but in fact reflect a highly insular conservative viewpoint. "Model" minorities such as her are often used by power structures to justify further reinforcement of highly biased policies that perpetuate a cycle of disenfranchisement. In other words, having a "racially diverse cabinet" doesn't mean anything if they all share the same Etonian viewpoints of how the world should be structured and society should be structured and how and where resources should be expended.

Fuck, imagine thinking this and being Welsh. The sheer willful ignorance.
