A terrorist generally wouldn't pick out a single conservative MP, my mind thinks it was an angry person too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_DADDY Posted October 15, 2021 Author Share Posted October 15, 2021 Who ever did it clearly has a screw loose. I don't care what reason they give, they have no place in a civil society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, it could mean a) he isnt as bad as first thought, or b) they are having to stablise him first before attempting to move him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been a number of stabbings and other attacks over the last decade by people who couldn't get a mental health service because they're underfunded. It's not that they don't belong in a civilised society, it's that a civilised society would ensure they could get the help they need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookesey Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 This could be the start of armed police guards for all MP’s, par for the course in many countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what we pay forensic psychiatrists about £120k p.a. to decide after making them have at least 6 years training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, it wouldnt at all surprise me if they react after the potential death of a southern male Government MP, and didnt bother after the death of the northern female opposition one.

I've suffered mental illness, I still do at times. My life is sometimes not pleasant, I sometimes struggle to care for my kids and myself. Sometimes I go to sleep and feel disappointed when I wake up the next morning. (this is the tip of the iceberg, to put more info about my life would just give a giggle to the more immature members of SF so I'll leave it to others imagination) I've never once felt stabby though so no, I don't buy that at all.
