Any reasons being given?  Who and when was the last MP to be attacked in this way (shot)? 

Oh, and by the way, how do you pronounce the school she attended?

Last MP I remember being attacked was Nigel Jones with the samurai sword.

And that would have been 1812, iirc.  I knew that the last British MP to be assassinated was a Prime Minister, but I have to admit to having forgotten about Perceval.

That's pretty disturbing, NS - especially as it seems to refer onlyu to current or immediately recent MPs.  I've always known that their job isn't the easiest, but that does seem to requie them being willing to go 'over and above'.

Shocking news, terrible times. MP Jo Cox critically injured, Perpetrator has blown away the Britain we knew.

Not only that but it makes no sense.  Jo Cox is British, living in Britain, representing part of Britain.  I don't understand it.

I think she supports Remain, and this gentleman objected, apparently.   All campaigning is suspended, I think.

I think Britain First, the neo-Nazi organization, are denying that it was them.

Just seen a picture of her kids. They are so little to have lost their mum.

This stupid referendum is not worth anyone's life.

I am sickened by this appalling incident. This was a decent woman who was working in her constituency helping others.

My thoughts are with her family.

Likewise.  Politics isn't everything, by any means.

I heard it just after leaving work.

Perhaps they ought to cancel the referendum, in her memory.

If people can't campaign sensibly, we are better off not having one.

IMO anyway.
