This has been a week when a slice of history has been created: Britain has just anointed in Rishi Sunak, its first prime minister of British Asian origin, a truly historic moment. I recall being a student at Oxford in the 1980s in a Thatcherite Britain and to be honest, it was a period when racial prejudice was unmistakable. I was at a Saturday football match once and when we were returning home, a group of beer guzzling louts stopped us and one of them shouted at me, “Get out of here you bloody Indian!”
