Looking at what this guy said it is astonishing that Tory ministers have been lining up to excuse him and deny that what he said was racist. Astonishing but not surprising. This individual has donated £10million to the Tories over the past eight years, coincidently during the past eight years he has been awarded £400 million in public sector contracts, mainly the NHS and prisons. His company is now valued at £1billion. It is surely indisputable that this country is being run by a government which is akin to a Mafia type cartel, using public money to enrich themselves and their friends. Bent as a nine bob note.  
As an aside, just imagine the outcry in the Conservative Party, (and Starmer), plus The Mail, Express, Telegraph etc, if someone from the Labour Party had used the exact same words about someone who was Jewish.

Another thing which exposes Starmer’s rank hypocrisy regarding Diane Abbott and the relentless abuse she has had to suffer on a daily basis for years as documented in the Forde report, (which Starmer has refused to publish and act upon the recommendations). The report showed Abbott was targeted by some right wing Labour MPs, Starmer supporters to a man, and their collaborators when they wanted to get rid of Corbyn. As a result it has been open season on her ever since, culminating in Starmer kicking her out of the parliamentary party. Forde reported that Party apparatchiks posted racist, mysogynistic and sexist remarks on Whatsapp about Diane Abbott in their campaign against Corbyn, and tried to get a journalist to harass her. Has Starmer disciplined these party apparatchiks? Hell no, to keep this from going to court after nearly bankrupting the party first trying to defend this behaviour, he gave them a six-figure settlement paid for by member’s subs. Horrible, phony bastard.

He’s like your elderly grand parent spouting racist nonsense at a family wedding and the Tories are the relatives trying to make excuses for him “of, course things were different in his day” but secretly agreeing with every word.

What’s this guy after if he can spunk at least £15 up the wall and £15 for Sunak to take a private helicopter trip.

I wonder what else would be uncovered if someone could get access to the Tory party finances?

Could say the same about all the other parties tbf.

Pretty good return for a £15m investment

No doubt a place in the HoL is on its way as well.

Regardless of your views on abortion those fundamentalist whack-jobs from the USA need to be told to fuck up their own country not ours.
