THE government has clarified that racist comments made by a millionaire donor are not as serious as regular race-based bigotry.
While comments about hating all black people and shooting Diane Abbott might sound racist to the untrained ear, the government has pointed out they are not a big deal because they were said by a man who gave them £10 million.
A Downing Street spokesperson said: “Take it from us, a party that only cares about old white people who vote for us, Frank Hester’s racist comments are nothing to worry about.
“If they were said by an asylum seeker or worse, a Labour MP, then you’d be right to take to the streets with pitchforks and flaming torches. In fact we’d be right behind you, cheering you on.
“But instead they came from our mate with deep pockets, which means you should laugh it off and go back to more pressing concerns like that photo of Princess Kate. Where the f**k is her wedding ring?
“Don’t forget, donor racism is different to proper racism. It’s just a bit of fun like Til Death Do Us Part and Little Britain. Stop being so woke about it.
“It’s not like we’re wearing white pointy robes and parading around a burning cross. Although if Frank Hester got caught doing that we’d let him off because he’s probably being ironic and we like money.”
