El Cid Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 1 hour ago, Jim Hardie said: They didn’t bother to do what? After the murder of Jo Cox in 2016, the spending on MPs' security rose from £170,576 in 2015/16, to £4.5m two years later. From the BBC website. Surely the Government should be looking into how people with mental health problems are looked after? Only last month a man in Plymouth with mental health issues killed 5 people. The bow and arrow killer from Norway killed 5 people, also had mental health issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister M Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I recall Mr Amess was a real champion of his local area Basildon in Essex. The manner of his death must be heartbreaking for his family. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna B Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) I've only just heard about this and don't yet know the details, but what a terrible, terrible thing to happen. From what little I've heard, he sounds like one of the good guys, a kind, dedicated MP who would help anyone no matter what party they supported or what creed they belonged to. I'd hoped Joe Cox was a one off occurence, an aberation, but it seems not. I can't help feeling the general mood of a lot of the population is verging on hive mental illness /paranoia all the way up to psychosis. I hope something can be done about that. And I hope this doesn't lead to MPs no longer wanting to hold face to face surgeries. It isn't what he would have wanted apparently. I feel terribly sad for his poor unlucky bereaved family.

cressida Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Shocked, and I wonder if this was an act of impulse, yet carrying a knife around it wouldn't seem so, condolences to his family. R.I.P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
