Daily Show's Trevor Noah backtracks on Rishi Sunak row 'Wasn't saying entire UK is racist'
Sajid Javid.Others, such as Piers Morgan on his show Uncensored, criticised The Daily Show for falsely portraying the UK as a racist country.Responding to Piers on Twitter, Noah said: “C’mon Piers you're smarter than that.“I wasn't saying 'The entire UK is racist', I was responding to the racists who don't want Rishi as PM because of his race...“That's why I said 'Some people’."However, Piers retaliated to Trevor by saying: “No, you c'mon Trevor... there was no 'backlash' in the UK to Rishi Sunak becoming PM because of his heritage.“You made that up to create a racism narrative that simply didn't happen... “And we Brits are bored of US media (& disingenuous duchesses) making us out to be a bunch of racists.”It comes after the presenter released his monologue, titled “Unpacking the backlash against new UK PM Rishi Sunak.”He said: “What I mean by that is this, you hear a lot of the people saying 'Oh, they're taking over, now the Indians are going to take over Great Britain and what's next?'“And I always find myself going 'So what? What are you afraid of?'”Former chancellor and health secretary Mr Javid shared the clip and wrote: “Simply wrong.“A narrative catered to his audience, at a cost of being completely detached from reality.”Asked whether Mr Sunak believes Britain is a racist country, a Downing Street spokeswoman said: “No he doesn’t.”In the comments section on the short clip, viewed over 850,000 times, social media users also criticised Noah for “projecting” his “American” views on race onto Britain. Tom Harwood said: “What backlash? Where? You’re making things up.” Mike Preston wrote: "I wasn't aware there had been a backlash except among the woke left such as Noah.

Primark-loving ISIS bride Shamima Begum makes new plea for UK return
ISIS bride Shamima Begum has pleaded with UK officials for a return to the UK – and it's mainly down to her love of Primark.Begun, who fled the country to join the terror group in Syria aged 15 in 2015, has claimed that she wants to become a “voice against radicalisation” should she be allowed to come back home.Begum was speaking from the Al-Roj prison camp in north-east Syria.READ MORE: ISIS nurse begs to come home to Australia from Syria as he 'did nothing wrong'She was being interviewed by filmmakers Andrew Drury and Richard Ashmore, in footage given to the i newspaper.Despite the plea, she did admit that she is prepared and expects to spend the rest of her life in Syria.She said: “That’s how I feel and that’s what it looks like.“I want to be as British as possible.“The problem is at the age of being a teenager you’re very arrogant and you don’t listen to people so sometimes you really do have to learn the hard way.“I could be used as an example, like you don’t want to end up like her.“If it stops children making the same mistake that I made of course use me as an example.“Tell the kids ‘don’t be like her, don’t become like her’.”Begum is now holed up in a “de-radicalised” part of the prison with other female prisoners – some of whome are mothers.She no longer wears the Islamic outfits she was forced to wear, donning more British attire of a t-shirt, leggings and sunglasses.She loves British clothes so much that she recently asked for tons of stock from Primark to be flown to her from her former home country.It is not known whether that request was accommodated, however.In February 2019, Begun had her UK citizenship revoked by former Home Secretary Sajid Javid.This was upheld by current Home Secretary Priti Patel
