The Tories love having an ethnically diverse cabinet because the racism doesn’t look like racism if it’s being said by a brown person.

    I think it’s hard to say they have problem with race. They’ll take any cruel, hateful, sell interested cheat with no discernible moral code.

    Pretty sure EDL, BNP and even the nazi party. All claim they had no problem.

    Most racist do not see their racism as a problem.

    Strange how anyone who dose not look like and old rich white man. Seems to be able to list problems with the party.

    But the honest question is. Have they ever had a donner look at an opposition white politician and say. He makes me hate all white men.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Donor Frank Hester apologised after reportedly saying ex-Labour MP Diane Abbott made him want to “hate all black women” and that she “should be shot”.

    The party has refused repeated calls to return Mr Hester’s money, despite labelling his alleged comments as “racist” and “wrong”.

    The former advisor to Boris Johnson has been a frequent critic of Conservative Party’s approach to race since leaving government in a row over a racism report.

    Paraphrasing Martin Luther King, Mr Kasumu said: “It is not the colour of your skin that matters when it comes to tackling racism, discrimination and bringing communities together - it has to be the content of your character and your willingness to lead.”

    The Guardian reports that Mr Hester made remarks about Ms Abbott while criticising a female executive at another organisation during a meeting at his company’s headquarters in 2019.

    Ms Harman added the reason the Tories were “hesitant” to criticise Mr Hester and hand back his donations was “because they’ve accepted such a huge amount of money”.
