This is absolutely shocking.
An elected member of Parliament.
What is happening to our country?

 

[Muttley]

I hope he's OK. I may dislike Tories but this is just depressing. I hope he makes a swift and complete recovery and that whoever has done this is removed from the streets for a very long time.

 

[jam69]

Awful

 

[Chris_Boro]

Shocking, hope he makes a full recovery.

 

[HarryVegas]

I fear our country is in a perilous place right now. I hope he recovers fully and quickly.

So they aren’t Tory scum today., nobody wanting to string anyone up?No one going to mention that the Tory policy of divide and rule is creating these situations, or that brexit is at fault. Some People on here need to look at their belligerent attitude and language to fellow posters just because the they hold a different opinion.
And this is not point scoring,I referred to the language and tone of some people on a previous thread.

Nothing anyone has said on here has caused this to happen.

 

[SE4 Red]

Just said on the BBC that a man has died

It's scary isn't it. There is a lot of anger and division out there. I even feel it myself. Frightening that it could come to this though

 

[Fat_Dragon]

Reports are saying he has tragically died from his injuries.

RIP

 

[KDG]

Awful - regardless of which political party you support, this is beyond extreme and tragic.

 

[Nosmo-King]

So, so sad this. MP’s surgeries will be conducted online very soon. Inevitable as 2 MP’s have paid the ultimate price for public service

 

[futureboy]

I don't mean to be flippant, but I instantly recognised his name from Brass Eye. Shocking news.

 

[Muttley]

And this is not point scoring

Yes, it is. You are trying to score points from a horrible incident.

 

[The_Unicorn]

Reports are saying he has tragically died from his injuries.

Confirmed on Sky RIP

Out of respect to the victim I'm not going to respond to your post in the way I originally intended to.

 

[BoroMart]

Yes, it is. You are trying to score points from a horrible incident.

mute him Mutt, he's an absolute idiot

 

[Colgates_shaving_foam]

Horrific, no matter your political views I'm sure everyone can agree that this act of violence is abhorrent.

 

[BoroMart]

Very sad, regardless of anyones politics we have to deal with things through honest debate and discussion, we cannot descend down this path. RIP this must be gut-wrenching for his family and terrifying for MPs on all sides.

 

[TeaCider]

Tragic news, I have no idea what goes through some peoples heads.

Rest in peace.

The vast majority of folk on here want to see effective democracy.

This is a shocking crime and an attack on our democracy.
