Jemima Goldsmith appreciated the Pakistani cab driver in the UK for tackling the racist passenger with patience.
Yesterday, a video of a British man demeaning a Pakistani cab driver went viral on social media. The video gained the attention of social media users. Meanwhile, Pakistani cab received appreciation for exuding patience despite the racist comments of the passenger.
“Who do you think you are? You think you’re something special? Pakistan! But I’ll tell you what? No wonder the Indians are bombing you!”
Surely this drunken racist bigot has committed a crime and is liable for prosecution

The driver went on to search his bag as if looking for a change and responded calmly, “I don’t think about who I am. Have fun.”
However, the passenger continued with insulting comments in an abusive and threatening manner. “By the way, this is England! And you’re in a f****** job in England! So you should respect this country.”
But soon the driver informed the passenger that he has recorded his video and will soon upload it on Facebook. So that the world could hear what he said to him.
But the passenger continued, “You think I give a flying f***?” The driver then asked the passenger to leave his cab after returning him the change. Yet, while getting off his cab, the passenger again abused the passenger for belonging to a Muslim country.

Her loyalty to Pakistan
Despite her separation from Imran Khan, Jemima Goldsmith is loyal to Pakistan. She has expressed her love and concern for Pakistan on several occasions in her various social media messages.
An ex-wife of Prime Minister Imran Khan, Jemima, always wishes for the success of Imran Khan and the prosperity of Pakistan.
Jemima Goldsmith, the former wife of Prime Minister Imran Khan, extended support to Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle, on her bombshell announcement to abdicate from senior royal duties.
She deduced Britain’s media scorn towards Meghan Markle and its extremely suspicious demeanor towards the female royal consort the prime reason for Meghan Markle’s debacle with the royal family. Perhaps Jemima could not forget her vilification by the Pakistani media.
Jemima said she is not sure if Britain’s media scorn towards Meghan Markle was driven by racism because she (herself) has mostly been the victim of anti-semitic and Islamophobia but duchess’ experience of vilification is relatable to her.
