Tory donor Frank Hester ‘has shown remorse’ over Abbott comments

Frank Hester merged overnight that he has donated an extra5 million pound to the conservative party this is the man who said looking at Diane Abbott made you quote want to hate all black women he also said she should be shot are you happy taking yet more Millions from this man so look we we made very clear at the time that Mr Hester’s comments were utterly utterly unacceptable uh he has shown uh considerable remorse since he has made those remarks I’m personally very proud that we live in a society that doesn’t tolerate that and I’m also proud of the fact that I sat around the cabinet table with the most diverse cabinet a conservative cabinet uh in our history you’ve still taken yet more Millions from him though so as I said we there is no place for those kind of comments he has apologized uh he has shown remorse for those comments but as I say there is no place uh for those comments uh in in our modern society and I think that is reflected in for example the composition of the cabinet

  2. He is proud of the fact that he sat around a table with the most diverse cabinet in history.. ??? But what is diverse about people who have the same political views..? They were all tories.. they all wanted the top job, all into to backstabbing their 'colleagues & friends', all liars, all corrupt, all belonging to the 'tories, friends of the zionist state' lobby group that gives that country's interests priority ahead the interests of little inglan.. what else united them..?
    Oh as a non-white, I allow myself to state that they did have a few 'tory-wogs..' you know, the ones acceptable enough for the tories.. javid, patel, sharma, cleverly, sunak, kwarteng, zahawi, vara, badenoch,
    jayawardena, coutinho.. and that very confused lapdog, braverman.. good tory-wogs.. not representative of the 'communities' from which they came.. corrupt, servile, fawning, wannabes.. trying to prove that they can be the fiercest nastiest tories out there..

  3. I just can’t understand why we think donors only offer money for good deed.
    We should demand that the government reveals what every donor has received in return

  4. Thieving schemers nothing more. They're all greedy little piggies with their snouts in the trough. And before some clown, sheeple digs up the age old soundbyte. No, all political parties are not the same. IT'S THE TORIES

  7. No mate you have sat around that table with the most stupid group off people ever that has sat at that table 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 yet again another tory mp tht lives o lala land 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 you just can't mk this up😮😮😮

  14. The tories would not suprise me if they happily accepted 5million from putin there all heartless incompetent a holes

  15. If Hester was genuinely remorseful, he would donate that £5.1 million to the Labour party in Diane Abbott's name.

  17. If it was anybody else without that kind of money you would have call for the police to prosecute them.
