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.

She was dismissed for her antisemitism. What more do you want?

I'd probably get banned

Given the posts you've had deleted I imagine you're treading on thin ice already.

You literally posted a lie tweet taken from a page that celebrates Steven Yaxley-Lennon.

There is nothing about that that says ‘I’m an ally of POC’.

Don't get all faux hurt about a ‘pile on’ just because people are calling out you and Clav’s ridiculous attempts to minimise the racism and misogyny levelled at DA.

I'd like a scummy racist Tory benefactor to be treated in the same way.

Oh but he's said he's sorry so that's OK...

Another disgusted Conservative:

I think that should be the case too!

Only her constituents can dismiss her. She’s a member of the Labour Party and votes along party lines. To all intents and purposes she’s a Labour MP.

I'm.not faux hurt. I'm calling out the fucking bullying of people who hold a different view to people like you. It's frankly disgusting.

I've explained that I didn't know that statement was fake at the time of posting. I have also stated how I came about it so don't make assumptions on what sort of person I am and whether I am an ally or not.

1. It doesn't matter what she is or isn't, the fact is she's a black woman whose suffered racist language for that reason. Its not OK.

1. She's subject of an investigation, she was not "dismissed", she just isn't a Labour MP while the investigation is ongoing.

1. Compare and contrast Starmers response when people complained she said something antisemitic, to Sunaks reaction when people complained Anderson said something racist last month, or to how he's handled today. I know which leader has performed better in my opinion.

You did continually derail the thread with whataboutery and nonsense.

You might not think it, but you did.

You do you girl. I'd vote Sunak over Starmer any day of the week. waits for pile on

Hurt feelings time. The defence of last resort.

Thought you were off to bed scorpio. Stop biting.

Oh. My. God.

Where has anyone said that (sorry I am just catching up on this thread so am probably way behind, but really).

Did I say I was going to bed?

I'm bowing out. Night all.

I inferred so, yes.

What’s that MN favourite?

something about believing people when they tell you who they are.

I was just building a fire to dance around it. Sorry if I misled anyone.

Anyway, do read Festus' statement just posted. He knows its unequivocally racist and is not afraid to say so.

I didn't vote for Festus as my MP recently but I admire his strength of character.

More assumptions.

I'm calling out the fucking bullying of people who hold a different view to people like you. It's frankly disgusting.

Nobody’s been bullied. Numerous posters have disagreed with you. Who was it who said if you can’t stand the heat stay out of the kitchen? Truman, I think.

Well, that and the tweets you post may be why people are questioning how seriously you take racism. But you do you girl 😂

Wait, what? I thought that was a Bucks Fizz profundity!

She was dismissed for her antisemitism. What more do you want?

She had the whip removed due to a letter she wrote to the Observer, where she suggested that the travelling community, Irish people and Jewish people didn't suffer racism as experienced by black people. She apologised unreservedly, acknowledged the hurt these comments had caused and agreed that those groups do indeed suffer from racism.
