ewerk 30409 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 That’s two MPs murdered in the last five years. What are the political parties going to do to cool things down? Fuck all, that’s what. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the political parties going to do to cool things down? Fuck all, that’s what. 4 attacks in 22 years, 3 deaths including the right hand man of the MP for Cheltenham who protected his boss in 2000. Stephen Timms nearly died too when someone attacked him with a samurai sword. If this was the US we wouldn’t be surprised and we don’t seem that surprised this afternoon tbh, but that record is horrific. I was familiar with him, seemed a decent fellah and lots of his colleagues say he was a really good laugh regardless of what party they’re from….

Rayvin 5189 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Certain forces within the political theatre have pushed and thrived upon divisive rhetoric in order to advance their agenda, and this is frankly what the outcome is. Same when it was Jo Cox. It'll keep happening until there is healing - but even as I'm typing this, I'm struggling to imagine how I can forgive for my part, what has been done. I mean I won't kill anyone but like, this is where we've come to and I'm really struggling to see the way back. Amess sounds like an entirely innocent victim in this, same as Cox was, but the political entities are literally creating the circumstances for this to happen. It's on them to fix it. Urgently, I might add. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44569 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Johnson won't condemn threats on journalists and all but encourages online threats against "activist lawyers". None of which helps when you've got genuine fucking fruitloops out in the community, radicalised most recently by covid. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still an awful thing to happen, regardless of any abhorrent views he may have had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame he’s been murdered obviously, but not because of anything positive he’s done for this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21461 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Looks like its being treated as an act of islamic terrorism? Will just further fuel the hate if so. It's obviously crass to blame politicians individually or collectively when tragedies like this happen, but politicians are very much to blame for many of the divisions we see in society, none more so than the prime minister. The country is fucked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4375 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I hate to point out the obvious cliché but.... Fascist kills MP - mental health issues. Islamist kills MP - terrorism. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5189 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Was just checking through his twitter and what's particularly painful about this is all the big name Tories lined up to congratulate him on this - so you just know he's going to be totally humiliated now. I don't actually think that's particularly professional stuff from the UN, they should have been well aware of his record in the first place. At least they corrected the mistake but they should never even have gotten started with the little troll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5189 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Meanwhile the Labour Party is apparently spending £2m a year in legal battles with... the Labour Party. New sponsors understandably reluctant to fund them if money is going to be wasted on such nonsense. And on top of that, they're down 150,000 members. So in the 'splitting the left' stakes, I think we can say Labour is out in front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
