'Do you work in business?... No, I'm a homeless person!' PM Rishi Sunak strikes up an awkward conversation with man as he serves up food at shelter ahead of Christmas
Daily Mail ^ | 12/24/22 | JONATHAN ROSE

Posted on 12/25/2022 5:32:12 AM PST by JonPreston

In footage while serving breakfast to people, Sunak was asked by one man called Dean: 'Are you sorting the economy out?'.

Dean then said he was interested in business, prompting Sunak to ask him what kind of business.

Rishi - 'Do you work in business? Do you want some fruit?'

Dean - 'No I'm homeless. I'm actually a homeless person. But I am interested in business.

Rishi - 'What kind of business?'

Dean - 'I like finance, it's good for the city and em when finance and stuff is doing well we all do well in London.'

Rishi - 'Yeah that's absolutely right. So I used to work in finance.'

Dean - 'Yeah I heard, ex-investment banker.'

Rishi - 'Well I did lots of different things but yeah you're right. But the good thing now is if you look at all the jobs in finance, the majority of them are outside London now. Is that something you would like to get into?'

Dean - 'Yeah I wouldn't mind. But, I don't know, I'd like to get through Christmas first.'

Rishi - 'What's your plan, what are you doing this weekend?'

Dean - 'No idea. I'm hoping that the St Mungo's can help me get into some temporary accommodation so I'm not on the street.'

When Dean replied finance, the Prime Minister said: 'I used to work in finance, actually.'

Sunak then asked: 'Is that something you'd like to get into?'

'Yeah I wouldn't mind. But, I don't know, I'd like to get through Christmas first,' the homeless man said.

Sunak continued: 'What's your plan, what are you doing this weekend?'

Dean replied that he was hoping the homeless charity St Mungo's could help him get into temporary accommodation 'so I'm not on the street'.

Totally cringe.

The homeless dude could probably live for years on what Sunak has in just one of his home wall safes.

The Brits are giving Rishi a hard time because of his questions and answers at that moment. Maybe he’s still working on the diplomacy aspects of being Prime Minister.

He’s still new to this position, where everything you publicly say or leave unsaid will be recorded and analyzed, sometimes out of context.
At least he didn’t crack any jokes about Prince Andrew or Prince Harry.

This very much reminds me of an Ayn Rand novel. We see in the West in many countries where the people who are the most affluent and powerful are not those who produce and really matter. They are the ones who can manipulate others; The politicians mainly, but also musicians, media …and the people connected to them etc. (Lauren Southern says Canada is already that way as well.) 84991-BAF-34-A9-4-F82-9-C55-0699-ED395-C40

This isn't about the need to brush up on diplomacy. This is a total lack of awareness the elite have for most people and their situation in life. People like Rishi can't be fixed. They have to be politically marginalized and replaced by normal people.

That was not a good question, in the circumstances. I am convinced that all ‘politicians’ are absolutely OUT OF TOUCH

Should have pumped the homeless guy for stock market tips! Or at least holiday tips:

"So, where do you winter?"

He should have said, “yeah, I dabble in the pharmaceutical industry.”

Awkward

Much much worse than that. It is proof that People in Charge don’t know what they don’t know. Frightening clueless.

Those eggs are troubling.
My Dad liked his eggs like that, with soft runny yolks.
I say, solid yolks for me, runny yolks for thee!

Like George Bush at the supermarket checkout. Best for politicians to stay away from things in the real world they have no knowledge of.

Yeah, some could. Others could blow through any amount in days. Everyone is different but some folks are broke for a reason.
