Labour MP Jo Cox shot and stabbed today in Leeds, her condition is described as 'critical'... http://metro.co.uk/2016/06/16/batley-and-spen-mp-shot-in-birstall-5948867/?ito=twitter
Dreadful. It could be politically motivated or maybe a crime of passion by somebody she was involved with. If politicslly motivated, somebody obviously disagreed with her beliefs or her party's beliefs. Shooting an mp is very undemocratic.
Both Stronger In and Leave.EU have suspended their campaigning. First impressions does point towards the Referendum being (at least in part) motivation for this, as Jo Cox was a vocal and active campaigner for Remain, and the thug who attacked her was yelling Britain First as he shot her. Hope that everyone takes heed and all sides campaign with a bit more respect. EDIT - given Sooper's post saying she had died, I have nothing but prayers and sympathy for her family. I hope that everyone who has been so vociferous over this clearly devisive issue takes a step back and reflects.
Appalling. What is this world all about. So much of it is amazing and beautiful, but too much is heartbreaking and senseless. RIP
Crazy crazy world.....the stoking of the fires with the Euro debate is starting to see a few fanatics come out of the woodwork, but this is totally senseless....RIP, and thoughts to your little kids
