Biggest Tory donor said looking at Diane Abbott makes you ‘want to hate all black women’

This fella's company has half the GP IT system market in this country. He had to change the source of one of his donations as it looked too dodgy - with TPP being such a big government provider.

I would expect NHS folk who, shall we say aren't fans of the Tories, to ensure this story runs and runs. Things will keep coming out about him and his company I would expect.

Where I work we do a lot with data from TPP and EMIS who have the other half of the GP IT market.

Quite regularly talk to EMIS to see where we can help each other out, but with TPP no one ever bothers. Had always heard rumours they were a bit of a nightmare to work with but reading some of those articles about their corporate culture... bloody hell, what a pack of toxic infants they sound like.
 
Disgraceful comments from him. I was reading a statement from his legal people earlier. Apparently he can’t be racist as his family arrived in England from Ireland in the 70’s. Or words to that effect.

Bet he's got a black friend too. And likes reggae music.

Case closed, nothing to see here.

I struggle to see any way in which that statement does not reveal a deep seated racist view of black people combined with a copious helping of misogyny. Perhaps you might share your interpretation of his "meaning"?
 
These are his words

The Guardian has learned of a 2019 meeting at TPP’s headquarters in which Hester spoke about an executive from another organisation, saying: “She’s ****. She’s the ******** person. Honestly I try not to be sexist but when I meet somebody like [the executive], I just …

“It’s like trying not to be racist but you see Diane Abbott on the TV and you’re just like, I hate, you just want to hate all black women because she’s there, and I don’t hate all black women at all, but I think she should be shot.

“[The executive] and Diane Abbott need to be shot. She’s stupid … If we can get [the executive] being unprofessional we can get her sacked. It’s not as good as her dying. It would be much better if she died. She’s consuming resource. She’s eating food that other people could eat. You know?”

WOW what a lovely chap
 
It’s ok guys

As he’s apologised and I’ve heard others defending him by adding he wasn’t saying it in a speech.

Ah that’s ok then
