  • The British Medical Association has called on Tory donor Frank Hester to resign from his health tech firm TPP, over his alleged comments that the MP Diane Abbott made him "want to hate all black women" and "should be shot".
    (Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
    The Conservatives are under new pressure after reports Mr Hester has donated another five million pounds - which has not been denied by the party - but doesn't need to be officially declared until June. But the racism row is also raising difficult questions for Labour.

    Imagine how this would have played out if he made the comments about a Jewish member of Government..and then the speaker ignored the person...imagine the reaction of the Government...they would give him back his money immediately...hypocrisy knows no ends with Sunak and the bigots.

      Why the necessity to return the money? It's like some bizarre religious fanaticism to demand the money be returned. So, return £10m to a racist? If the Tory party itself is not rasssist, what is the problem with keeping the money? Accepting donations from people doesn't mean you necessarily agree with everything they have ever said. I'm afraid this is simply pure party politics, sour grapes, and Labour wish it had £10m - instead they are broke.

An extremely important issue that is often forgotten, or not reported at all - like the continuing issue of racism in the Labour Party hierarchy.

    It appears that a lot of white individuals harbor animosity towards Ms. Abbott because of her advocacy for equality, which encompasses the rights of Black people. Unfortunately, this sentiment seems widespread among the white individuals I've encountered. Criticizing Ms. Abbott has become a common occurrence in mainstream discourse. I am grateful to Ms. Abbott for her unwavering support of Black communities who still face injustices reminiscent of past eras, even in modern Britain of 2024. The statement appears to be hate speech, and individuals who identify as Black have the option to file a formal complaint with the Metropolitan Police against the man. He should be charged under the new extremism laws!

    • @pauln6803
      @pauln6803 4 місяці тому

      Abbott gets criticized more because she's had a tendency to be gaff prone and her image (as in style, not race or gender) certainly makes her stand out.
      Let us not forget that when certain people, such as ooh... Boris Johnson, make frequent gaffes, they're seen as charming because of their charisma and the ever present willingness for many Brits, and perhaps more so the English, to doff their caps to these privileged Estonians.
      Abbott has none of this, being a black and heavily left leaning woman who doesn't know how to play on the posh drunken buffoon act.
      If Diane makes a mistake the press, and in particular the right wing press (of which the majority of the media is heavily biased towards) are all over it, portraying her as an idiot.
      As a white male, I'd rather vote for the black lady who's caught on a train drinking a mojito than the white man who's chauffeur driven and says anyone who didn't have the privilege of a private education is "thick as potted plants", but a lot of others would rather believe the Sun than actually take an interest in politics.

    we have black politicians in the tory party even though most tories inherited stolen wealth from black slavery and colonial loots, my extensive family and friends throughout uk will never vote labour, previous labour government increased taxes for the working people instead of taxing and windfall taxing the super rich to run the country , also labour misused abused our military soldiers to invade countries like iraq instead of protecting our country , our country is already invaded by russian rich oligarch and their siblings who are living in uk and give orders to russian leaders and No action against oligarch by our corrupt politicians who are serving them instead of serving the working people, ts Not racism, there is corrupt leaders politicians in all race and ethnic, we have black politicians in the tory party even though most tories inherited stolen wealth from black slavery and colonial loots

      The gaslighting is quite amazing.
      Are we pretending that racism is the same across the board?
      The hypocrisy in 'stopping this divisive race' without acknowledging what Black people go through is exactly the problem being highlighted.
      But please, do tell us - who are attacked and threatened daily - what we should be offended and upset by.

    It’s not about black people or the black vote. All minorities in this country have watched their government divide the nation and use them as scapegoats for their own failings. It’s not just black people who face all this in their professional life, it’s every minority.

      Of course, they are merely a tool to distract the majority from the cumulative failures of Tory ideology.
      I've plastered it all over the internet by now that the government was pissing away public money on the Rwandan deportation scheme and desperately attempting to shift public attention onto migration, trans issues or whoever they could find to victimise in order to divide people.
      As the saying goes: Divide and conquer - it's just as true for political purposes as militarily.

      Well, that's a tricky one since white, so called Christians make for a good percentage of the Tory party, which as anyone should know is the most successful political party in the history of democracy in Britain.
      I say so called, because it's oh so very clear that the majority have either not read the teachings of Jesus and the bible, or have been highly selective of which bits they follow.
      As Nietzsche put it, "After coming into contact with a religious man, I always feel I must wash my hands."
      As you may guess from my quoting of the German existential philosopher, I am not a follower of any so-called god, but that's not to say religious text - no matter how unbelievable - have nothing to teach modern society.
