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 not on a about me. Everyone on here who has dared to speak against the god almighty Diane. Get a grip.

I know you seem to have trouble accepting that some of us believe saying 'she makes me want to hate all black women' is racist, but hopefully you'll at least agree that saying 'I'm bowing out' and 'night all' does rather indicate you're off to bed...

You and Clav you mean. I’ve never seen a political thread so united. And I post on a lot of them.

It’s only you and Clav.

Funny how you’re defending a racism apologist harder than you are DA, a victim of racism.

Again, I don’t think it’s a massive assumption to say that’s not the behaviour of an ally.

Better keep off the Tory ones then

PoC you said. I can dislike one black person that doesn't make me racist.

And this still doesn't mean that Hesters comments were acceptable.

I don't think any of us need to take grip lessons from someone who reposts fake shite from far right Twitter accounts.

There aren’t many of those any more. Tory supporters are a bit of an endangered species these days.

She should take him to court for hate speech and inciting violence. I have no words strong enough to describe this vile cretins behaviour
The Tories are truly abhorrent

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.

Diane Abbott's X/Twitter feed strongly implies that Starmer's motives were racist towards her - both in her pinned tweet and retweet yesterday.

Try being a Jew and a member of the Labour Party a few years back...

And this still doesn't mean that Hesters comments were acceptable.

No, but it does show how a grown up handles being pulled up for saying something offensive. Maybe Frank could learn something from Diane ?

Pretty sure most people who think the way you have written here would do the same. Your values and opinions appear to clearly align with Sunaks, judging from the behaviours of those he has appointed to cabinet positions, and those he takes money from.

No, but coming on to a thread about a woman who is the current victim of racism and using every opportunity trash her reputation (with no facts, just opinion and lies taken from racists’ Twitter feeds) does kind of put you somewhere closer to racist than ally on the spectrum of bigotry.

And all the black and Asian Tories, what about them?

Still so fucking loud, though.

Incorrect. Moved to Reform.

Oh, you’re voting reform now?

yeah. That tracks.

So you're calling me a racist? when I have categorically told the people of this thread I am not?

Well that really does explain a lot.

Yeah. no choice left. the conservatives are practically Labour.

Incorrect. Moved to Reform.

Are we talking about Three Party Lee now ? Absolute bastion of integrity that he is

😂

Doesn’t matter what you say. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck …
