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.

Na. Labour are practically Tory lite, much as I hate to say it. Tories are UKIP. Reform UK is the BNP.

Which one did you say you have moved to?

@scorpiogirly

Of course you're a Reform voter.

Absolutely tracks.

Better not get too personal, people. Don't want to get the thread pulled, which I think some would love.

I don't think I've ever met a racist who thinks they're racist though. Even all the 'they should all just fuck off home' lot don't think they're racist, they just think they're right.

The thing with racists is none of them think they are....

I’m not calling you a racist.

I’m just saying that you shared a lie about a black women posted on a racists’ twitter page.

I’m just saying that you went looking on Twitter for a post that would discredit a black woman who is currently the victim of a racist tirade.

I’m just saying that you have spent a lot of time this evening arguing against people who are calling out the racist treatment of a black woman.

I’m just saying that you are voting for a party (Reform) where some of the most racist & xenophobic politicians in the country are currently huddled.

but no, I’m not calling you a racist.

Well said @Redundantrobin

All of that.

Yep, some bait going on for sure.

Your hatred of DA is almost palpable and appears to be clouding your judgement.
One doesn’t have to agree with Diane Abbott’s politics /views to recognise that she is and has been the victim of racism .
I honestly don’t think that you realise how terribly you are coming across.

You're right.

His utterances are so meaningless at this point, he could have just carried on pretending he didn’t know what had taken place.
I’m also bewildered at the contrition they’ve witnessed and the forgiveness they deem fit to award ☹️.

I am sure Reform have lots of lovely ideas for fixing the NHS, the social care crisis, potholes etc and having someone like Three Party Lee onboard will be useful as he can draw on his experience of being a member of two other parties.

For now, he does seem to like change does Lee, he might go all Green if the wind blows in the right direction, or defect to the Lib Dems

Of course you don't. Why actually establish the truth of anything? When Google will easily provide anyone with made up shit that confirms any bias they hold?

Doesn't matter if its wrong or a lie. Idiots will believe it and spread it.

You claim a wish to protect women and children from misogyny and abuse @scorpiogirly. Clearly that doesn't extend to women like Diane Abbot.

Just a little link to Sunak's speech outside Downing street, less than a fortnight ago.

I heard that before defecting to Reform, 30p approached Count Binface, who said:

Are you sure it was Binface and not Lee’s mate who he asked to pretend was a stranger?

Could have been!

Maybe he’s just trying to be fair and share himself round all the parties one by one? His natural home might just turn out to be the Monster Raving Loony party.

I'm not calling anyone on this thread racist, but when it quacks like a duck...

I think the most important thing will be if the next party has enough flags, he loves a room festooned with them, as long as you can see him

To be fair they do seem to have quite a few ideas for fixing the NHS and social care crisis.

Zero basic rate tax for all frontline healthcare workers? They’re on glue.

It’s ok, it won’t affect the tax take much as they’ll have slung all the workers out and closed the borders.

I rest my case. Another pile on ensued and assumptions that I am racist. It's really disgusting that one cannot voice their option in fear of this. It really is bedtime. A school run to look forward to. Goodnight.
