Like every evening, the 11 p.m. news news takes a look at the news broadcast by European television channels. It’s Eurozapping on Wednesday March 13.
A case of racism embarrasses British conservatives. His name is Frank Hester and is the biggest donor to the conservatives with more than 12 million euros. He claimed that Congresswoman Diane Abbott made him want to hate all black women and that she should be killed. A shock in Parliament. The opposition is urging the Conservatives to return the money. “Is the Prime Minister proud to be funded by someone who uses racist and misogynistic language ?“, questions Keir Starmer, leader of the Labor Party.
Diane Abbott, first black MP
And Rishi Sunak kicks in: “He has apologized, you should accept it. Racism has no place in Britain, and my government is living proof”. Diane Abbott, elected in 1987, is the first black MP. She claims that these words from Frank Hester scared her. Two British MPs have been murdered in recent years.
