I have tried to hold back for a short while, as a sign of respect.

If it turns out Mair has shouted “Britain First” that could be a game changer.

Any half intelligent person would be reviled by this act & if it transpires Mair has some affiliation to this organisation, well the majority of “don’t knows” could well have been swayed.

Than a small part of me relapses into Mugwump mode!

What if the powers that be, not the politicians, the higher powers, decided that things don’t seem to be going their way? So they resort to Plan B.

What a sad day for Britain and what tragedy for her young children, husband and family.

I fear what transpired today is a result of months and months of misguided rhetoric aimed at immigrants and refugees and also the the stoking of nationalism.

We have opened Pandora's box and as a result we have given our species's innate prejudices (tribalism, jingoism, racism, etc) a platform. Black day for British society and British politics.

If those are your reasons to remain I'd like to see your reasons for not leaving!

I have to agree - this happened 10 minutes from my house and in an area I know very well; it's genuinely shocking and deeply sad.

Much will be made of the mental illness, wrong time wrong place angle; but the increasingly nationalistic tone of the Leave campaign has given people with extreme views a convenient peg on which to hang their prejudices.

This referendum has become the most sordid, dishonest and divisive political exercise in a generation; campaigners from both sides should hang their heads.

The way the "wider and deeper EU" methodology worked, and it's an incredibly successful methodology from the viewpoint of the project itself, means it is too late to extract ourselves now. Our economic and political infrastructure is too deeply linked to the EU, we cannot simply get out of jail free. The Brexiteers do not have any plan that can actually extricate us without massive damage being done, and many of our "EU partners" see us as a convenient cash cow and won't happily let us disconnect from the gravy train. We need to stick it out, the project is already overstretched and reform cannot be delayed indefinitely. We may never get the ideal EU for the UK, but the current one has too many other problems to hold out on reform forever.

Another who has sought to make political capital out of a horrible crime. You should be ashamed of your vile post.

Yeah, how dare someone politicize a politically motivated assassination?

People like you are absolute bottom feeders. Get a grip.

There are no depths some in the remain 'campaign' won't sink to win the referendum, especially as they are actually losing the argument. Look at this guy: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-e ... m-36567469 The World's fifth largest economy would suddenly become 'like Guernsey' (whatever that means) just because we vote to leave your undemocratic, wasteful, corrupt, horrible club. Scaremongering crap of the highest order.

Of course. But the fact that this was a French minister speaking in a French newspaper didn't stop the OP from rambling about 'scaremongering' from the 'remain campaign'. This right after he tried to claim that someone was somehow in the wrong for discussing the political causes of a politically motivated assassination. Indicative of the absolute backwards, factless idiocy of the Leave camp.

I simply said it was scaremongering. I did not state it had originated from the remain campaign although plenty has.

Using a murder for political point scoring is the business of those who will resort to any tactic to prop up their lying, scaremongering and increasingly desperate campaign.

Yes you did. You literally saidThere are no depths some in the remain 'campaign' won't sink to win the referendum, especially as they are actually losing the argument. '"
