At the moment the ' reason ' behind Mrs Cox's murder is still not clear , I'd suggest it is left alone on here , a separate thread to offer condolences would be a better option

Strange that you have no attempt to actually state whether you agree with the french minister and instead are attempting to divert attention to something which was not actually said. Bizarre.

I'm afraid I don't 'understand' political point scoring from a heinous murder. It is those desperate to find any avenue to support their flagging campaign. It won't work.

Except it clearly was said and is literally visible just by scrolling up the page. Again, are you actually aware that you're doing this and how backwards you are or is it some kind of involuntary thing that you're oblivious to?

Nobody asked me if I agreed with the French minister, I don't agree that it would be "like Guernsey", I do believe that we would have to contribute to the European budget to be involved in the single market as he said (which you didn't read). But he isn't part of the remain campaign as you originally implied so it's immaterial isn't it?
Thanks for admitting that you don't understand. Just to clarify once again, this man shouted "Death to traitors, freedom for Britain" when asked for his name in court. Either you acknowledge his political motive or stick your fingers in your ears and bury your head in the sand. I expect you will do the latter.

If you're too much of a backwards right wing pussy to deal with the truth that's not my problem.

Yes, it tells us he's not in a stable state of mind, it also tells us that something has riled him up and made him feel like he needed to take action. Obviously no sane person would do what he's done, but that doesn't mean that the reasons for it should just be dismissed. He's been fed strong enough rhetoric and tensions have been whipped up so much that it was enough for a person on the edge, as he clearly was, to be pushed over the edge.

And yes, campaigning has (rightly) been suspended which is why accusations of 'political points scoring' are doubly absurd.

So why are you doing it ?

Firstly because I'm not a politician, and secondly because this is a political assassination and I have the freedom of speech to discuss it, which is something that you people are always so quick to bring up whenever it suits your agenda. The fact is that you don't want people to talk about this because you can't deal with the fact that it exposes a section of society that has been cultivated by your ideology. So you're trying to use some misplaced concept of morality to shame people into not talking about it, which is at best hypocritical and at worst cowardly and pathetic.

Just to clarify I'm not saying all Brexiters are murderous psychopaths, just that the Brexit campaign has fueled a murderous psychopath. And if you disagree with that then please tell me why and cut the sh*t.

This wasn't a political assassination , it was a murder by an unstable individual , the reason for which we don't currently know , and may never know

You however are drawing your own conclusions and trying to make political gain from it

I won't comment further , no doubt you will

I will, because you're brazenly trying to deny the truth. The man literally stated his motivation in court. He shouted "Death to traitors, freedom for Britain" when asked for his name FFS. If you're trying to deny and play down his political motive then you're frankly an idiot and a liar.

Yes it was.

The bloke obviously has major problems, but he didn't murder a random on the street, he targeted an M.P.

And just to put the cherry on the cake, he starts spouting "Death to traitors..."

I just wish the buffoons who have incited this miscreant could join him in his lifelong incarceration.

I won't engage with the bigot anymore.

A moment's thought and you'd reject that; since time immemorial an endless stream of humans have been responsible for countless unspeakable acts. Clearly they all thought differently, but while a small number may be insane, most are, it turns out, just evil scumbags.
