taxman Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Let's wait and see. Wise words. Unfortunately the world has gone into overdrive assuming reasons for the murder, newspapers are branding him a Brexit Murderer and people are rushing to make either political points or to call for a moratorium on criticising any MP. The political establishment seem to want to use her murder to silence critique about politicians in general. Fine, if they want that to happen then they should start behaving like honest people instead of the careerist, expense fiddling, filibustering, boorish, vulgar people we see in reality. Jo seemed like a good one, its a pity "MP" is now regarded as low as "estate agent" in the scheme of things, but it's their own fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quik Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Mair has now been charged with multiple crimes including Jo's murder so probably best to lock till post trial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeMaquis Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Very sad, I heard that she intervened in an argument, nothing to do with politics at all. You heard that, did you? Another one of the voices in your head? The witnesses said it was an elderly bloke who intervened to help her. He's still in hospital. The fact that Mair is a white supremacist with links to neo-Nazis in South Africa and the USA obviously means he has nothing to do with politics. From what you've heard, of course. ---------- Post added 18-06-2016 at 08:36 ---------- I was surprised at the reopening of Parliament. Why? "Parliament will be recalled on Monday to pay tribute as vigils were held in Cox’s constituency and around the country". Are MPs not supposed to pay their own tributes? https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/jun/18/thomas-mair-charged-with-of-mp-jo-cox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I1L2T3 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Mair has now been charged with multiple crimes including Jo's murder so probably best to lock till post trial? Indeed. It would be utterly disgusting if this became part of a political campaign. The funeral hasn't even happened. I notice some papers are already hinting that the national political backdrop is relevant to what happened. How the hell can they know. I really, really hate politics and the media in this country.

I heard that she intervened in an argument. MPs, and many more have been paying their tributes. Are they going to discuss any issues, perhaps a little more time for emotions to pass would be best.

It's sad but this is what happens when right wing nut jobs fear monger. Other right wing nut jobs take it seriously and act on fear and hate born of ignorance. This is right wing politically motivated terrorism, no question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libuse Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 This is right wing politically motivated terrorism, no question It would appear so, as he's just given his name in court as "death to traitors, freedom for Britain." I wonder when the Daily Mail will start calling him a terrorist rather than a mentally ill loner (not that the two are mutually exclusive, obviously) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
