It makes you wonder how racist or xenophobic a comment a Torie or Torie friendly funder would have to go for the party to condemn it as the racism it is? Guessing they don't wanna upset their racist membership but feck were heading into very dangerous territory here |  | |  |

Stephen Flynn was good on this, especially the quote below. Stephen Flynn, the SNP leader at Westminster, says the Tories have taken money from someone who says an MP should be shot. Sunak says the gentleman has apologised. Flynn says he apologised for being rude. He goes on: "He wasn’t rude. He was racist. He was odious, and he was downright bloody dangerous." He suggests the extremism that the government should address is in the Conservative party. |  | |  |

Hester also the standard Tory defence / symphony getter of claiming that he had to put up with racism because of his Irish background. As an Irishman I would treat that assertion with the contempt it deserved. Horrible human being. |  | |  |

Your last line is the only good thing to come out of this - proof of how dangerous the Tories are for any last wavering Tories voters who are anti-racist. |  |

Yer, he's spot on. Those last 2 paragraphs say it all. We have a situation where 50% of the membership of the Conservative party are unashamedly racist and xenophobic. That's the party that currently makes up the UK government, but the leadership makes no attempt to address it. |  | |  |

I think what he is roughly saying( though doesn't want to admit to it now everyone is looking) is the idea of a black women being anywhere near a position of power makes him angry enough to admit he hates all black women and wishes Diane Abbott was killed. Do the Conservative leadership call this out for the shocki g and dangerous racism it is and return the money? Do they feck. They have stopped pretending.. |  | |  |

All the moderates were hollowed out under the Johnson purges. And to think of Labour had put someone remotely palatable up instead of Corbyn, this could have been avoided. It's a long way back from here... |  | |  |

It's especially amazing when you consider that the Prime Minister less than two weeks ago called an emergency press conference to highlight the alleged threat to MP's safety in the current political climate. Rings kind of hollow in the face of the governing Party's response to this, doesn't it? |  | |  |

I am wondering how on earth this govt is going to come up with their promised definition of "extremism" without including many of their supporters, several MPs and at least one ex-PM (the one who illegally prologued parliament)... |  | |  |
Yeah it was racist and misogynistic….but they want his money, so let’s move on 16:42 - Mar 13 with 6686 views | Mullet | At least there's no confusion now. Anyone who votes Tory is voting for racism, sexism, corruption and destruction of the country as we commonly understand it to be. There's no debate around that as the evidence mounts up. It's a disgusting story and the "yeah but Rishi's Indian" defence they keep putting up is laughable. This country needs PR not to keep the extremists out but to keep them in check and in place. A handful of far right MPs is far easier to control and manage than a party and cabinet full of them. |  |

The spineless puppet being Sir Keir Starmer who stood up to the Corbynistas in the party and is moving back towards a centre ground that might entice the debate, a large chunk of the population away from fringe views and extremism? Feel free to explain the soundbites. |  |
