It's the kinda thing that will lose floating voters I hope so. I was going to say it's borderline racist, but I think 'borderline' is a bit inaccurate. Here we have homeless, stateless refugees from war and Farage is actually trying to sell us on the idea of turning them away - and further more, that the only way to do this is to leave the EU. What a c**t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been flipping between BBC News and Sky and gave up on the latter when that stupid cow, Kay Burley, started talking about her in the past tense! Can't bear that woman.

Spindles Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Very saddened to see this happen. I agree with what people have said throughout about the fearmongering and venom in this campaign (which I've largely tried to keep my voice out of) and I am extremely angry and upset about this at the moment.

Junglist1981 Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Absolutely awful, you don't expect this sort of thing to happen here. Has the Britain First thing been officially confirmed or is it a rumour based on assumption? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has the Britain First thing been officially confirmed or is it a rumour based on assumption? statement from witness on the scene included that the man was shouting britian first as he carried out the act, take of that as you will, even if not I dont think this is a random attack do you? Just so happens jo cox is one of those most passionate fighting the case for remain as well as one of the only ones with the moral grounding to campaign for unaccompanied Syrian children to be let into the uk, could that be why she was attacked? pretty likly if indeed the attacker had right wing leanings but thats for the police to work out. Britian first are now denying any involvement btw, though they bloody well would!....but I wonder how much sleuthing itd take to uncover the fact that many of their members have links to groups like `redwatch` who actively encourage just this type of violent act against perceived `leftys` Right now we just need to think of this poor woman and her family, she has a husband and 2 kids ffs! If it does indeed turn out that this lunatic was motivated by political extremism then I think and I hope we finally see some crackdowns on these fucking assholes and the incitements they put out as `truths` but right now im just hoping she bloody well pulls through as it sounds like shes in a bad way, thoughts and wishes.

waterfalls212434 Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 some assholes already claiming this is an apparent `false flag` attack to gain sympathy for remain...fuck me just when you think youve seen the worst of mankind!

SwedgeAntilles Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) Screenshot going about of the Britain First Facebook page, first comment from one of their lot is; "But even if he is a Britain First supporter you can't tarnish the whole group with the actions of a few, agreed?" To which the first reply is; "Could say the same about Muslims" I'm sure they'll all be able to appreciate the irony.

SwedgeAntilles Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Britain First aside I really hope she pulls through. Eye-witness said he though he shot her three times which doesn't sound good.

Junglist1981 Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 RIP Was just watching this video of her maiden speech to parliament that someone posted on twitter. She comes across as a very decent, positive and down to earth lady, clearly very proud to be representing her community. What a terrible day.
