keg Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Other side of the city from me but shocking, 2 young children as well. RIP and thoughts and prayers with the family. View so far is that he was a loner, no political connections proven so far. The Britain First group have denied any connection. Leaving it to the proper authorities now.

oowee Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Just seen this on the news. What a tragic waste. A remarkable woman. What she achieved in such a short time and then paid with her life should make some rethink their attitude to MP's. 'More in common than divides us'.

Wilts#Dave Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Totally senseless killing by a deranged individual, words fail me. No excuse in my opinion 'psychotic problems' etc etc, far too much laid on that these days.....what's wrong with some people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 They are taking the Britain First references out of all the reports in all the papers. Time will tell what really happened, the man pictured sitting on the pavement looks like a bit of a loser rather than a hit man. God knows what was going on in his head.

Psyxologos Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 This is so painful to contemplate.Such a waste. Two children are left without a mother. A husband is left without his beloved wife. All this for nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

69chris Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 very bad and sad news but....... i do have to wonder if they would have even noticed, never mind suspended the referendum campaigning if it had been a mere tax paying mortal that had been the victim i feel not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted June 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) Dare we try to discuss any thoughts about that man doing the unthinkable and speak the unspeakable yet or are we too PC to do that yet? The killer seemingly had massive hatred about Britain being sold out and did what most of us would not even consider because we are so British and reserved. I'd wager there's a good many people who would love to punch many a 'Remainer' politicians face in. Most of us, myself included have become too nice to speak our minds or act decisively other than go the polling booth feeling it will make little difference because the voters wishes are mostly ignored by politicians. Hilary Clinton decided to comment about the victim supporting democracy but I thought the victim was campaigning to give British democracy away? It's a great shame that anyone felt strongly enough about politicians who sell out our democracy does something so bad as to effectively ruin his own life after the victims. If anyone tried to sell us out to Germany in the late forties they'd have likely been shot at dawn. I have a tin hat somewhere.

robbietherimmer Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Trully shocking- what a horrible thing for her family to try and deal with. No doubt the murderer will play the 'mental elf problems' card which seems to be the standard excuse these days for evil scum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) Dare we try to discuss any thoughts about that man doing the unthinkable and speak the unspeakable yet or are we too PC to do that yet? Yes he is a murderer or sick or both. The killer seemingly had massive hatred about Britain being sold out and did what most of us would not even consider because we are so British and reserved. I'd wager there's a good many people who would love to punch many a 'Remainer' politicians face in. I think most of us have matured since playground dispute resolution was the default mode. Most of us, myself included have become too nice to speak our minds or act decisively other than go the polling booth feeling it will make little difference because the voters wishes are mostly ignored by politicians. Fortunately we are civilised not animals adults not children. Hilary Clinton decided to comment about the victim supporting democracy but I thought the victim was campaigning to give British democracy away? Difference of opinion is part of democracy as is voting to ensure minority views are balanced with consensus. It's a great shame that anyone felt strongly enough about politicians who sell out our democracy does something so bad as to effectively ruin his own life after the victims. If anyone tried to sell us out to Germany in the late forties they'd have likely been shot at dawn. And your point is? I have a tin hat somewhere.

So basically you are saying we should have sympathy for those that kill because they feel so strongly against people that have a different opinion/outlook to them.....

I don't think you should have sympathy for him and I don't interpret Dave-G as saying that. But isn't it somewhat true that the more people feel that they are not being listened to then they will take more increasingly extreme action to make themselves heard. In this sad case I think he was just a nutter but more of these events could happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) I certainly didn't share her politics but she clearly was someone quite special - grammar school, Cambridge, travelled the world and then politics, but apparently not for the usual 'nose in the trough' motivation of most politicians. Democracy doesn't involve shooting elected politicians. . Edited June 17, 2016 by Mungler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TONY R Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 This is a terrible event, the poor womans family must be going through the mill at the moment. And the waste of life the things they could have been doing togetherin the future, the kids what they going through. Very sad indeed. And ironic well maybe ironic is not the right word i dont know, but the killer as in acctual fact done more harm for the cause he was in his pathetic warped mind trying to promot and actions have not only wrecked a family took a life its also made the millions that were undecided in this referendum know which way they are going to vote now dont they. Add to this the inevitable media fueled hysteria voting , i mean WOW why even bother turning out. We are IN now if we like it or not, its just a total shame one lunartics actions not only changed a little families lives forever took a life and i fear changed the direction of our nation forever. , and could well have robed all right thinking people in this country a fair ballanced vote. I want out of europe i relly do but now some how i feel kind of guilty for having this oppinion even though i have done no wrong. Bad news all round i am sorry to say.
