MP Jo Cox shot and stabbed

[TheWildRumpyPumpus]

How terrifying that this can happen - not going to start speculating about how/why it's happened, but hope she pulls through.

This is so awful

RIP

:(

{{{hugs}}} Civil. I am so very sorry.

So so sad

It seems the perpetrator may have had mental health problems.

Oh no she didn't pull though ...

Poor woman

Condolences to her family, friends including Civil. She sounded like a wonderful woman.

Just hearing this on the radio now. Truly terrible news. Her poor kids. 😆

So sorry wrong emoticon

So, so sorry for her family and children.
Just awful news.
RIP Jo

Condolences to Civil & anyone else who knew her xx

She was a wonderful woman and great MP.

My thoughts are with Brendan, the girls and family.

RIP Jo

What the fuck is wrong with the world? Poor woman. Poor family.

Caitlin Moran is engaged in point-scoring on Twitter. Vile.

mamamea - well that explains it then. as you were everyone, its just another nutter

How awful
Condolences to her family and friends

The Britain first link on mamameas thread takes you to a live page where the leader issues a statement. i did not lisyen to it. Just to let you know not to click on the link.

TheOriginalLem, it looks like the Britain First page is blocked geographically (I'm not in the UK). So maybe not deleted after all?

Apparently the perpetrator may have been a subscriber to some kind of South African white nationalist newsletter.

It's minutes since she died. Please could we hold off the speculation and stuff for a bit?

Right now, the police commissioner has asked us to "let the police do their job in understanding exactly what has happened that led up to this hugely tragic incident and channel all our thoughts into supporting the families and communities affected."

I don't think anything's going to be helped here by speculation.

Point well made - it is incredibly scary but mostly this is a family's tragedy

civil I'm so sorry you had to find out like this

Terrible , poor lady

And sorry, I'm not trying to be the thread-police.

Just there will plenty of time for all that later, when the police have done their work.

TheOriginalLEM, the boy who was killed by the alligator was a family tragedy, this is much more than that.

This is sickening, her poor family.
