I just don't see the dogwhistle, and I don't think the above tweet admits culpability of any such thing.
Sunak isn't Pakistani. He's not Muslim. I understand the dog whistle people say is there, I just don't see it.
100%. Someone told me about this tweet last night so I looked it up this morning expecting something quite different. I don't like the tweet, but objectively the alleged dog whistle just isn't there.

I just don't see the dogwhistle
Of course you don’t, your brain has been rotted by partisanship.
Corbyn pronounced Epstein funny and y’all were like this man is a disgusting antisemite but Labour put out an attack ad linking an Asian man to pedo loving and suddenly you’re all well actually there are subtle distinctions to be had here on the matter of the subcontinent.
The ad has been roundly condemned as being vile from all quarters. Fuck me, even David Blunkett has come out and rebuked it. If you want to wallow in filth then fine, but at least have the honesty to admit that you’re a pig.
edit: even Yvette Cooper is distancing herself from it, and you don’t get much more ‘sensible chap’s boner’ than Yvette Cooper.

Wanting paedophiles jailed is not a far right position. Defending mitigations for paedophiles is not an election winning prospect.
