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.

Rather be boring than racist

When all else fails go ad hominem.

I mean the comment sounds racist but I don't think he made the comment because she is a black woman.

Wow, how pathetic. I am proud of being neither, thanks.

"She makes me hate all black women?"

How does your brain work?

Just allow others to have their opinion without dumping all over them.

Then of what relevance is Diane’s 2012 comments to what is being discussed?

When is a racist comment not racist? When it’s directed at a black woman? Listen to yourself.

I normally give PMQs a miss, due in part to the infantile goings on. But, yes it should be interesting to see what will be said Tomorrow.

Do you think racist supporting views should go unchallenged then?

Hard work. As you were.

And entirely deliberate last ditch attempt to try and garner some approval. Tried and tested tactic.

I think Gove is trying to announce his extremism changes this week - I hope that he gets asked questions about taking donations from racists who suggest shooting MPs.

Quite@cakeorwine No doubt he will squirm his way through a response.

@scorpiogirly

I mean the comment sounds racist but I don't think he made the comment because she is a black woman.

So you think he would have said "she makes me want to hate all black women" if she was a white woman?

Goodness.

🤣

It's not the same thing though, is it?

And she asks to be allowed her opinion without a pile on.

You will have to read my posts again if you're not following the thread - I certainly wasn't victim blaming.

So why has he referenced her colour?

Some people's comments on this thread says a lot about them.

I’ve read it all. You are victim blaming by using any and all references to Labour MPs doing things you deem unacceptable and continually bringing up DA’s own errors.

It’s pretty gross, but entirely expected of someone who believes the Tories can do no wrong.

Doesn't it just?
