‘ People on the right are now demonised to such an extent that their safety is compromised, which seems to be what's happened here.’
I think the opposite has happened, it’s people on the left who are being demonised. Anyone who disagrees with a right wing view is denounced as a leftie.

The use of far right fascist is a bit more severe than that.

That's probably because of the hyperbole around calling right wingers far right fascists.

Yes, I agree. I've heard Ann's killer was a member of Jeremy Corbyn's Your Party. I think there's been radicalisation on the left of British politics and a rise in intolerance. Gaza and the trans debate has shown this. People on the right are now demonised to such an extent that their safety is compromised, which seems to be what's happened here.

It's a very worrying development and everyone in public life suffers as a result.

Well said.

Cutting to the chase, the motive is not yet established. But it's either personal or political and if I had to hazard a guess then I would say it's because the killer didn't agree with her politics (Reform) or political views on something (anti abortion, anti gay marriage, pro Brexit etc etc)

But your facts have now offended me and in a world of "be kind" my feelings / not offending people are now more important than telling the truth or stating facts.

But I'm just trying to tell my truth. Admittedly it might not be the same thing as the truth but why let a small thing like that get in the way!

I doubt there will be a trial and the murderer only had Anne as the first one. He had other reform MPs he was going to kill next

Well given the posts on Angel Delight and sandwich spread, heaven only knows what would compromise the trial.

So did Ann Widdecombe have a penchant for Angel Delight and sandwich spread?

Eta What does this have to do with her horrific murder?

Edited

No.

This is about the TRA who was gloating at her death and now wants to make out he's Aung San Syu Kii because the police have got interested in some of the things themselves polycule seemed to have foreknowledge of

I think what they meant to say was that if it does proceed to trial it’ll be on a defence of not guilty by way of insanity. A high bar to reach.

At the moment nobody knows what will happen. We don’t know the evidence against him. But for reform to tweet like this, they’re risking a jury trial! It’s nonsensical

placemats · 22/07/2026 17:42

Brightlittlecanary · 22/07/2026 17:29

I think he will plead guilty, alternatively they will go for instanity. I’m no reform fan but the murderer had a list of their MPs to murder. They’ve every reason to be upset. I don’t think any trial is in jeapordy at all

either he will plead guilty due to the overwhelming evidence, or he will go for insanity and then it’s irrelevant what reform MPs say

there is no doubt he did it, they have the bloody video footage,

I would say Reform are rightly bricking it. Problem as well is this gives other extremists ideas. Politics and religion eh.

Until such time as a plea is entered, they are jeopardising a trial. A defence of not guilty by way of insanity would still go to trial.

They are risking that potential trial.

They have advocated for a particularly nasty form of politics in recent years. Perhaps this would be the time to reflect, and not continue to stoke the flames of division further? And certainly not to risk the trial of the alleged murderer of their colleague!

thehardestpartis · 22/07/2026 17:23

What?

Reform are absolutely placing a trial in jeopardy with their postings on social media. It’s quite sad they don’t think Ann deserves the respect of a proper trial.
