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.

I'm missing your point - I'm not victim blaming at all.

Par for the course though. It’s nearly impossible to get through a thread without the trans issue being introduced regardless of relevance.

Not at all. I'm just saying. We may agree on many things but I'd never care to find out.

@scorpiogirly you posted that meme because you wanted it to be true. That's all anyone needs to know.

You're denying that you're derailing by bringing issues in to the thread that are irrelevant to the discussion?

This.

Nothing to do with the trans issue. I'm saying I do not hold anything anyone says who holds those views in high regard. My point was, it is usually the far far left who support that shit as well as being up in arms about anyone who dares to say they don't like a far far left politician.

Exactly. This shoehorning is tiresome and not even subtle.

@scorpiogirly - you were challenged and rightly so. I like to remind you, because your instinct was to label Abbott and ask questions later.

Of course your comments on several issues tell us a massive lot about you and your 'values'.

Oh I did so hope it was true 😄 Ridiculous.

That still does not answer the question of why you decided to post that, on this thread talking about the appalling, disgusting things that a Tory donor has said about her, does it? So are you going to answer or just post more whataboutery? Mmmm let me guess.....

Well aside from the fake quote, she is a racist and antisemite.

100%
And probably very disappointed that it’s been discredited.

You might not like her - but I am sure you recognise that the comments made by Hester were racist and you can separate your feelings about her and the comments made.

(I haven't read the full thread - maybe you've said that)

There are some foul people out there , horrid racist sexist people

Poor woman how could she not be affected by the crap thrown at her

The comments were vile and racist. Do I believe they were racially motivated though? No.

@scorpiogirly / but that was not the question or the topic at hand.

If I am a racist, does this negate any racism towards me? The answer is no, btw.

How about you start another thread on Labour and 2023?
...instead of your usual nonsense of diversion

I wasn't the one who started posting about allegations of corruption and sexual abuse/MPs stepping down - pointythings diverted the thread - I'm allowed to reply to her post.

yup.

wanted it to be true so much that they didn’t bother questioning the source.

If you can’t see that anyone retweeting Stephen Yaxley-Lennon isn’t a reliable source of information on a black woman, you’re either not paying attention or you don’t care about truth.

So not ridiculous for someone to say that you hoped the meme was true…
Think you need to have a lie down.

I'm fine love. I'm glad this thread is giving people something to get the pulse racing in their otherwise boring lives.

It will be interesting to see how Starmer handles this tomorrow, given Diane still has the whip removed.

How can something racist not be racially motivated? How exactly does that work?

Sooooo, just separate the comments from the man.
”I’m not racist I just make racist comments”
You really need to lie down.
