Tory donor openly states Dianne Abbot should be shot..

[VestibuleVirgin]

Frank Hestor reportedly said: “It’s like trying not to be racist but you see Diane Abbott on the TV, and you’re just like… 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.”

Abominable, disgusting. Aibu to be incecsed by this?
Money allows all sorts of behaviours apparently, particularly if you give a lot of it to a political party.

Looking forward to PMQs tomorrow.

I hope someone links it to his comments on extremism and threats towards MPs and democracy.

Just a bit of harmless banter, haha

Don’t worry, he’s toast tomorrow. It’s going to be interesting to watch that front bench.

How about you start another thread on Labour and and 2023?

...instead of your usual nonsense of diversion

It will certainly be interesting to see who's prepared to sit next to him doing the supportive nodding dog act.

I’m beginning to wonder about you @Clavinova. It’s almost as if you want to provoke someone to the point whereby they say something ban worthy.

@ilovesooty yes it will.

I wonder too how full the benches behind will be.

It's going to be an interesting day.

Firstly, I wasn't forced to apologise for sharing a meme I didn't know was fake at the time of posting, I chose to apologise.

Secondly, just from the replies I've had just now, they seem very hostile. Nobody can 'see through me', you can't even begin to know me. And some or the replies are very rich coming from someone who thinks my 5 Yr old daughter should be forced to share spaces with a person who has a penis. I don't know where uou far lefters get your thinking from.

Apologising for offence caused is not an apology now, is it.

You’re boring me.

It’s sad that people are more focused on the Tory element rather than what was said and the person who said it

What relevance does the issue of women's spaces have to this discussion? That's a derail and then some.

Redundantrobin
You’re boring me

Oh dear.

Sorry for any offence caused.

Why post it in the first place? Your posts, and replies say a lot about you. What people say, speaks a lot about them. It really is not hard.

Because I'm not interested in the opinion of anyone with those views. People who hold those kind of views are usually so far left their hanging off the edge, hence the vitriol spouted at anyone who dare profess anything other than unwavering support for the DA.

Post what in the first place?

I'm still missing your point @Clavinova.
If you aren't victim blaming, to minimise racism, why are constantly referring to remarks made by others?

The deflection minimises something that should never be deemed acceptable.

The fake meme@scorpiogirly You know the one about Diane Abbott, to be crystal clear.

No need - none taken.

@LadyKenya - I saw that. I don't mind a disagreement about views. I do mind lies. That was a lie posted.

Because at the time of finding it, I thought it to be true. It was not surprising to come across that considering her historical racism and antisemitism.

People who hold those views on gender identity that you don't like are not voicing them on this thread. You're derailing and being deliberately provocative.

"She should be shot with shite!"

A lovely north east expression.

Are you late to the thread? I've already conceded and apologised for it.
