I can't imagine that the section of your regional compatriots who voted for Brexit voted to avoid a PM of Asian heritage.
That article was rubbish and you did rely on it to support your notion of racism, preferring the term to "prejudice". Very naughty but it fits your narrative of regarding Brexiteers as somewhat despicable. Naught but not nice.

You need to get out of Wokingham and Waitrose and see the world how it really is. Your one-dimensional Brexit world view needs changing, the reality is far more complex that you would like it to be. The causes & reasons behind how people voted are many and varied. Like it or not, racism and xenophobia are part of that equation. You need to accept that.

I would tend to agree with you, but we always need to be aware of things we may be disgusted by and how these traits are encouraged and who encourages them, the Farage breaking point poster being a prime example.
Anyway, that's enough on the irony of Sunak.
