I know what he's getting at. Reading his comments makes me want to hate all elitist, white, ten chinned, jabba the hutt looking, pony fecking dickheads.
Can't find this story anywhere on the BBC. Now, imagine if someone like Mick Lynch had made comments like that about a rabbi.
That's remarkable. Presumably the Guardian have reported him to the police? Sounds very much like inciting racial hatred to me unless I'm misunderstanding something.
It's literally on the front page.
Nearly interviewed for a job with this arsehole's company. I decided against turning up after reading the Glassdoor reviews which, shall we say, could be better...

It wasn't last night when I last checked.
I have a very warm opinion of Diane Abbott from the time that formed my early political views.
There is a reason why she gets half of all of the abusive communications that MPs receives.. the clue is in those comments by the Torie donor.
Will the Tories disavow? Hmm

Nah, would cost them too much so they will just waffle and obfuscate.
Diane made a few slip ups on national TV during election period & is a black woman - abusing her has become so normalised that this will cause a few headlines for a day or 2 and things will go back to normal; where it’s okay to hurl abuse & insults her way anytime she says something.
I’ll actually be shocked if Starmer says anything in defence of her

How the feck can a political donor hold government contracts?
That's how its always worked. Those 'donations' aren't free or without condition, they're essentially glorified bids for contracts. Clearly this bigoted Hutt has done well with his £10million 'bid'.
You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours - although when the likes of us do it it's known as bribery

I didn’t know she still gets abused. Is she still an MP? She’s barely in the news and over 70, surely. Sounds like a fixation.
It"s worse than that, in most other industries its considered collusion/fraud.
It won't change as i expect all sides at westminster are happy with the arrangement.
Am I having a fecking stroke?
It's still a bit strange though, as there's very strict laws on it. I'm guessing parliament must fall outside of those laws as there's no way it's allowed in a normal workplace (at least so openly).
People can just make up any old shit now, even if its a super obvious lie.
Though there's clearly a subset of the population who believe that racism can only be racism if you're lynching KKK style.
It’s not even at the funny ‘satire is dead’ point anymore. This is just disgusting and it boils my blood how little consequence there is for shit like this currently.
Is this the political/rich people version of 'he has black friends so he can't be racist!'
Does business in Jamaica and Bangladesh FFS
so cynical. did you even bother reading the whole article? he can’t be a racist, some of his best business ventures are black.
At this point, it needs to be burnt to the ground and we can start again.
New to the UK?

The second most abused politician after Sadiq Khan.
I am glad of this statement, as it proves slavery wasn't bad.
Pretty sure slave traders did business in Africa.
Dawn Butler has said on LBC that a member of the public was sentenced to 12 months with 18 months suspended for saying she should be shot.
Will one of the toffs? Hmm
She's also pointed out how outrageous it is for this bloke to have access to the publics information, or potentially have contracts for AI in the future

This country is fecked.
He's rich.
The News Agents podcast covers all of this today and they nail every single point. The whole thing is so fecking odious and offensive to everyone (except racists, because the Conservatives don't want to anger them).
They're both fecking shit at their jobs would be one...
what about Diane Abbott makes her bad at her job?
Her local constituency overwhelmingly votes for her and she has a strong approval rate of the people she serves.
Is she your MP? Or perhaps have you taken part in any town halls she’s hosted?

Completely random - does anyone have a FT subscription? There's an article I want to read but its behind a paywall.
