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

I wish I could be the one asking the questions because these tv interviewers are missing the point completely.

Hester apologised for being 'rude' and doubled down on his claim that his comments were neither racist nor misogynistic.

Ergo he has not apologised for making racist comments. Unless I have missed something.
 
even if we ignore the racist / supposed non racist part of the statement can he get away with saying this ?


“[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?”

Yeah but he said sorry.

And (more importantly) gave them £10m.

I think it's a insightful measure of their moral compass that some tories seem to genuinely be baffled that this is still an issue.

You can do whatever the **** you want as long you throw enough money around . They actually believe this is how the world should work.

Anyone voting for them is an utter moron.

Lindsay Hoyle repeatedly ignored Diane Abbott today in PMQs when she stood up to make a point.

Shameful.

That was very strange…that she should be ignored. She certainly made the effort to catch his eye.
Another bit of information. Apparently in the lobby meeting with journalists after PMQ’s. A seeming change, or maybe just something to take the heat off.
The government spokesman didn’t rule out completely a May election.
 
Putting aside the horrible racist and sexist thing this vermin has said.

He is paying millions to the Tory party. And his company just so happens to be on the receiving end of hundreds of millions of pounds worth of government contracts. That's a pretty big coincidence. In my work I have to declare any gift that I give worth over £50, in case I am accused of bribery. But then, I don't run my company.
 
I’m stunned. The man who stood on the steps of number 10 less than a fortnight ago to tell us racism, hate speech and intolerance is now ok if you apologise for being rude when you do it wow!

I genuinely think the Tories have just given up.

Not quite. They are still shovelling public money into their own pockets as fast as they can and will be doing so until they are thrown out.
 
Question about this. It was reported in the Guardian but apparently happend 5 years ago. So how has it come to light again. Read a few reports but can't find the how or why.

Regardless of my question above the Tories should give back the 10 million and refuse anymore donations from him. Hopefully when police look at D.As complaint action will be taken.

Not sure how much a change May would be.
Many have said this was the plan all along.

One of the leaders of a company doing focus groups for the political parties has said he is convinced they will go in May.
We’ll soon know - they have to announce by 17 March, I think, for a May election.

It is how the world has worked for a long time. The rich and famous get away with things we would be in jail for.

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"?

Sorry muttley, that was a bit of a whoosh for you
 
And this morning Abbott is now attacking the Tories AND Labour. I thought she wanted the whip back?

Well played Diane, drag Starmer into the Tory Racism row. That’ll help the party get the Tories out.

I think you need something explaining to you. He wasn't calling you a racist: he was saying you are an apologist for someone who definitely is racist.

So, whilst it's likely that you are racist, it could be just that you are so Tory you're willing to eschew morals and support someone for being racists because political affiliation is more important than common decency to you.
