Should someone funding a homophobe and racist like Laurence Fox continue to be an investor in Crystal Palace FC?

I ask, as Fox's 'Reclaim Party' have had a £5m donation from Jeremy Hosking.

How do Palace's inclusive values match up against Laurence Fox's divisive rhetoric?
Palace wear Rainbow Laces and support anti-racism initiatives but is it right that one of the club's investors does the opposite by funding someone who is outspoken against equality, whether it's based on race or sexuality?
Are Crystal Palace serious about these values?

Does Jeremy Hosking think Sainsbury's should be boycotted for saying racists aren't welcome?

Or that it's acceptable to accuse homosexuals of paedophilia because they disagree with you?
As @smsmth_ says, Palace tend to avoid political issues. This is justifiable to some degree. But is it acceptable that one of the club's investors does?

In a way which goes against the core values that the club claims to represent?
I appreciate that the club sees value in Brexit. I personally don't, and I think that 'value' is misplaced.

But Hosking's support of Laurence Fox goes beyond that.

I think the club should address it.
