Lots of people pointed out that Warsi achieved high office in the Tory party and in government, and didn't attract anything like the abuse Patel gets. Mainly because she presents as a functioning human being and not as a vindictive arsehole.That's dumb phrase racists use "There's racism against white people as well" needs a very rare set of cirumstances to fulfill. Racism isn't a petty prejudice or saying French people smell of garlic but about the power relationship between class and race. So step forward Priti, from a British colonial petit bourgeois background who is now a minister suggesting we starve the Irish if they don't play ball on Brexit. That remark alone makes her unfit for public office.
