Was former UK PM Bonar Law's colonial birth ever used to disparage him either overtly or implicitly?

I don't believe so. I studied undergraduate history in an Irish university which included a module on Irish Home Rule. Law was prime minister of the UK at the time of the Home Rule saga, at one time swearing that "never under any circumstances will we submit to Home Rule". Adams, R.J.Q. (1999). Bonar Law. (John Murray Publishers)

At no point during the module did the matter of his place of birth crop up. I believe that Britain then as now does not discriminate politically or otherwise against those who are born in their colonies and who choose, for whatever reason, to come to Britain.
