Britain should stop funding Frank Hester.

He's the biggest donor to the Tory Party, donating £10million in the last 12 months.

His companies have been granted £100s of millions in government contracts. Mostly from NHS and Prison Service budgets. Both our NHS and Prison Services are totally fucked to the point of being detrimental to the country as a whole.

He's a misogynist. He's a racist. He's a fucking disgrace.

YABU: Frank Hester deserves to be funded by the British population.

YANBU: Frank Hester is indicative of what's gone wrong in the UK and we should stop bankrolling him.

When this story broke, I did think Hester sounds a bit of an extremist @MrsBennetsPoorNerves.🤔

Reviews on Glass Door show he's as racist, sexist and inappropriate in the work place as ever @BloodyHellKenAgain.

@TooBigForMyBoots Well, I agree that doesn't sound good (although I've not read Glassdoor and I assume the comments on there are not verified as it's an anonymous forum).

I still think 'cancelling' someone for something they said 5 years ago is not good and that the sort of person who 'records' things and then releases them to the press years later to cause embarrassment is at best a lowly excuse for a human being. I think this which ever side of the political spectrum is doing it BTW.

If he's said it last week in a meeting then that would be news but IMO reporting on a comment made 5 years ago just looks like muck raking by the Guardian.

Isn't Gove introducing new rules to prevent extremists and people who undermine "British values" from receiving public money?

That should resolve the issue, hopefully.

That's a knife that I bet only cuts one way. The law doesn't apply to the Tories and their friends.

This man is throwing money at the Conservatives with a view to securing a seat in the House of Lords......

I see Gove slimed out of saying that the comments were extremist.

Do you know what? I bet these idiots that come out with the shyte that he does wouldn't think twice about being treated by a foreign doctor!! Hypocritical on all accounts. All people eat shit sleep and breathe no matter what colour you are!

Fortunately the Tories are out at the next GE.

In the meantime we can just watch on in horror as they spend our money ballsing up our rights and our country investing in fucked up, useless systems provided by utter cunts who are only "successful" because they are Tory donors.🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Yet Starmer, Flynn and other idiots in Westminster are calling for Hester to be given an immediate £10m personal tax free lump sum.

What? I've missed most of today's news, so I'm not yet up to speed.

TooBigForMyBoots · 15/03/2024 01:32

Don't worry about it @jcyclops. Neither Starmer nor Flynn is in power. The Tories are.

And will, no doubt, withdraw all the millions of pounds the state pays to prop up the racist, misogynist, extremist, Frank Hester.

He doesn’t seem racist. He is racist.
I haven’t heard him have an epiphany regarding what he’s said.
I am going to withdraw my consent for my health data to be shared.

Yes, and probably originating from the NHS budget.
