Seriously 😳

Off course you know it was terrorism related. Killed by this person with extreme right wing views.

Labour MP Jo Cox was assassinated on June 16, 2016, by Thomas Mair, a far-right extremist and neo-Nazi. Mair was motivated by white supremacist ideology and repeatedly shouted "Britain First" during the attack. He was convicted of murder and given a whole-life sentence, and officially designated as a terrorist.

It's time to allow women and older people to carry pepper spray.

I think women should now be allowed to carry guns. The ban according to Rupert Lowe was a massive over-reaction and has allowed things like this to happen. Women and older people should have the power to protect themselves and we need stand your ground laws like in the US as this makes total senses according to Joe Rogan as we cannot be regarded as a civilised society anymore without allowing women and old people to protect themselves.

Zia Yusuf reported the speaker of the House ignored emails from a female Reform representative to be protected. Miraculously after this case he managed to respond. I take it Reform have upped their security while the investigation is ongoing.

Which fictional detective would you bring in? Miss Marple, Ironside, Inspector Morse, Poirot? I like the French detective Maigret. A few puffs on his pipe and he would have his man.

Vera!!

If so, they might have wanted to hold the 26-year-old until they knew where the 28-year-old was to avoid any chance of a tip off.

Hmm true, the initial person seemed to have been let go after only a few hours and there was then a gap before the second arrest.

TemperanceWest · 13/07/2026 13:56

Some people seem to be so happy that this may be terrorism-related after all, that they seem to be forgetting the actual victim in all this.

Also agree with @Bloozie

I don’t want to carry a bloody gun. Madness

Well Charlie Kirk was soon forgotten while the left were making disgusting comments. What a surprise, the same has happened again.

PerkingFaintly · 13/07/2026 13:58

Never miss the opportunity to exploit the savage killing of an elderly woman in her own home for your own agenda, eh, @CovenOfCheeses ?

The worst comments about Ann Widdecombe have come from the left anyway.

My view on suspect 1 was that he's a known local 'bad boy' whose car/van was seen in the vicinity sometime later Weds early Thursday. Then it became clear that the murder had taken place on Wednesday lunchtime and for that time scale he had a cast iron alibi do he was out of the frame.

I'm really hoping you're being ironic.

You've not heard the best theory from that poster! Apparently Farage is in on it.

MaturingCheeseball · 13/07/2026 14:02

It does seem really odd to target poor Ann Widdecombe. She is not who you think of immediately if you hate Reform or Catholics or pro-life advocates.

My post said "some people". I didn't specify political leanings.

Some people on the left made awful comments about CK. Plenty of others on the left didn't and condemned those who did.

The murder rate in the USA is five times that of the UK.

If you think that one of the hallmarks of a civilised society is that it should be made easier for people to arm themselves with lethal weapons, then there really is no hope…

Why just women and older people? Should my elderly DM with dementia be armed, I could see that ending well, probably with me or one of her carers dead!

Many terrorists /other murderers are quite happy to kill men too.

LobeliaBaggins · 13/07/2026 14:07

This is such a baffling and tragic case. Why would a man drive all that way to kill her? Surely there are other people who would make more logical targets. ( not that I am calling for the killing of anybody).
