Non-partisan opinion, this is where the #Congress misses the forest for the trees. Firstly, language is a medium of instruction, not a measure of intelligence, secondly, this is hubristic, since it’s well evinced the privilege Rahul Gandhi grew up with. Thirdly, in a country

The #England team was led by an Irish captain, a South African fielder who threw the final throw, a Barbadian bowler who bowled the last over & the irony of all - a #NewZealand born lad who won the match. But let’s listen to #Brexiters on immigration! #EngvsNZ #CWC19 #CWC19Final
