Right Honourable Gentleman?

Our honourable Eton educated MP Philip Dunne gratuitously insulted his Labour Party opponent, one Kuldip Sahota a Sikh gentleman, at a recent general election Hustings in Church Stretton, in the Tory Dominion that is Shropshire, stating that “Kuldip was talking through his Turban” to audible gasps from the audience.
In response, Sikh Labour MP, Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi, said that ‘Mr Dunne hasn’t demonstrated any understanding of why his comment was racist.’
In a sense Dunne doesn’t need to understand racism, it comes naturally, along with the metaphorical ‘droit du seigneur’ (Lord's Right) exhibited as, under pressure, he responded in a typically entitled way, the undercurrent to his manner being ‘why are these peasants having a go at one who rules over them’, a throwback to the 18th century and colonialism.
Dunne had experienced a pasting from his usually loyal voters over Brexit, insults hurled at Labour including Dunne’s insult that Corbyn was a crypto-communist (leading to suspicions that, on that level of fantasy, Dunne himself might be a crypto- fascist) and the state of the local NHS currently embroiled in a Maternity Scandal of some magnitude and a VERY undesirable patient safety record – remember Dunne was Jeremy Hunt’s second in command as a Health Minister until his sacking over unfortunate comments exposing his contempt for his ‘ordinary’ constituents – see below.
Tory health minister Philip Dunne says 'most hospitals have seats' for patients who can't find a bed:

He couldn’t even claim that ALL hospitals had such comfort as a chair to offer to a sick person, just ‘most’.
Parliament was also misled by Dunne over a patient transport ambulance scandal whilst a Minister of State for Health and was forced to issue a formal apology, after telling MPs that the Sussex NHS body, which awarded the ambulance contract to controversial private company Coperforma, had ordered it to stop using an unlicensed ambulance firm.
The subsequent collapse of Coperforma cost the tax payer millions.
Dunne is still keen to deny that it is not the Tory plan to privatise the NHS but his own efforts as a health minister in that direction were stopped when under his tenure the Government was accused of 'wasting millions of pounds' as it abandoned the sale of NHS staffing agency which was condemned as ‘filling the pockets of management consultants’ – at a time of a recruitment crisis.
The announcement that the sale of NHS Professionals (the NHS in house staff agency) has been stopped crawled out from under the DoH stone at 8am on 7th September 2016 in a typically cowardly written reply to a parliamentary question. It did not mention that this futile and ideologically driven process cost the country £2,000,000.
Dunne's record in Health was no better than that achieved when at Defence.
Peter Oborne, who resigned as chief political columnist of the Daily Telegraph in 2015. Stating “If major newspapers allow corporations to influence their content for fear of losing advertising revenue, democracy itself is in peril”,
wrote about the pernicious culture of lies concerning Philip Dunne, then defence minister, who misled parliament in May 2016 stating that "we assess that no UK-supplied cluster weapons have been used and no UK-supplied aircraft have been involved in the use of cluster weapons in the current conflict in Yemen".

Finally, Dunne has yet to explain why his number is in Jeffrey Epstein’s little black book on page 21, right opposite the Duke of York?
