Police investigate Tory donor alleged race comments
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-68636193
It'll be interesting to see what the outcome of this is. Will it be brushed under the carpet or will comments such as it made him "want to hate all black women" actually be dealt with in the same way as if it was said by any other member of the public?
Interestingly, seeing where we are, if you heard a comment like that at a football match directed at a player, would you confront the person saying it, report it, or both?
Oh yeah...he also said she "should be shot". Let's not forget that either.
Will £10M to the Tories buy him a slap on the wrist or.....? Let's see.

NO! I don't HAVE to admit it.
Referring to a woman's appearance by stating "she is no oil painting" is a deeply inappropriate and misogynistic expression that perpetuates harmful stereotypes and diminishes a woman's value to her physical appearance. Such language not only undermines the individuality and worth of women but also contributes to a culture where women are objectified and valued primarily based on their looks. Beauty standards are socially constructed and vary greatly across different cultures and historical periods. Using them as a measure of a person's worth is not only unfair but also perpetuates a narrow and exclusionary view of beauty.
Expressions like yours reinforce the gendered notion that a woman's value lies in her ability to conform to arbitrary standards of beauty, thereby ignoring her talents, intelligence, and contributions to society. It's essential to challenge and change this f*cked up mindset and focus on appreciating individuals for their unique qualities and achievements rather than their adherence to subjective and oppressive beauty standards.
Try and strive to use language that respects and uplifts people, recognising their inherent worth and dignity, rather than diminishing them based on superficial and irrelevant criteria.
