Shocking and disgraceful. Commonplace in other parts of the World, perhaps, but not the sort of thing we expect to see on British streets.

Importing MENA values.

Could you expand on your reasoning night game. I can not understand it given this context.

It could be related to Britain's far-right party which is involved in the Leave campaign. A witness said that the attacker "was seen and heard ranting 'Britain First'" during the incident. Last month, Britain First held an anti-EU rally in Leicester and the group “Midlands Anti-Fascist Network” showed up to push Britain First out of the city.

Mrs Cox has been campaigning for Remain in the EU referendum campaign which has now been suspended. Labour MP Jo Cox has been shot and stabbed to death in an attack reportedly carried out by a man shouting 'Britain First'. The Britain First party issued a statement denying it had any involvement saying: "An attack on an MP is an attack on British diplomacy - MPs are sacrosanct." West Yorkshire Police said a 52-year-old man has been arrested.

Now now, just because he was shouting "Brtain First!" during the attack does not mean that the far-right had anything to do with this. He was probably just a self-hating white man, or he was insecure about his masculinity, or... or maybe the UK needs to ban guns and knives?

Idk... Just pick your favorie excuse and run with it.

The thing is, "Britain First!" is also a self-contained and very transferable slogan. Very convenient to be able to link it to the present far right though, gives the media something to chew on.

In hindsight, not the best name for a political party, tiny as that one is. An interesting comparison would be to look at the slogans shouted out by assassins throughout history and see which of those coincided with the (strict) names of organisations.

Check his internet history. 100% chance he was a radical Islam. I guaran-fucking-tee it.

It's probably an MI6 false flag to taint the "Leave" vote.

[Istanbuller]

This is probably an inside job. Nice tactic.

They will call Brexit supporters racist now.

That's the insult applied, predictably;

[Zionist Nationalist]

I think that a false flag is very possible given the timing

[Decky]

Mossad seems the most likely culprit.

Mossad would perfer to weaken the EU.

[Decky]

Mossad are both behind the anti EU groups and they are behind the EU itself. Whoever wins humanity looses.

[Zionist Nationalist]

Thats the way Jews control everything

[KurtFF8]

This is becoming an infowars discussion board apparently.

[Donna]

It's not out of the realm of possibility that the British deep state would do something like this to manipulate public opinion, especially when the stakes are so high.

[Heinie]

The murderer is clearly a demented English nationalist who hates the European Union. We all know the type.

You should spend a bit of time over where I do my other moderating - PoFoUK - the place is full o' the buggers!

...false flag...

It would be a shame to have to move this thread to Conspiracy Theories! I'm as cynical as they come, but I cannot believe that anyone in British politics is so motivated as to widow a man and rob two young children of their mother to sway a vote.

This sort of thing used to happen all the time in Northern Ireland during the Troubles. It would be unusual in mainland Britain in 'peacetime' though, I'll grant you that.
