Boris Johnson was born abroad. I wonder what could possibly be the difference between him and the example below in the minds of not at all racist people?
Nus Ghani MP - the Deputy Speaker - moved to the UK as a small child. She has been elected by the voters in Wealden in 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2024
More outright racism from the regular GB News & Talk TV contributor Lucy White - who previously called (on GB News) for all Muslims to leave Britain

The scrapping of the two-child limit is a much-needed change to turn the tide on child poverty.
It is also the most cost-effective way of lifting children out of poverty.

Nothing on the BBC Radio news this morning. Nothing I could find on their website. This is an MP from the party whose lead in the opinion polls normally ensures them wall-to-wall coverage. She spouts racist nonsense for which even she feels obliged to apologise. What on earth are they playing at?
