Good man. When I saw Cooper on TV this week it could have been Priti Patel. Or any of the right wing monsters we've had at the Home Office for the past 15 years now.

Well spoken that man. Respect is not given it is earned and he has earned mine. Can’t be easy to speak out in his circumstances.

Awful, awful, time for the family.

It’s quite wonderful that he can be so dignified at this time.

The new ‘law’ from Yvette Cooper? I just don’t see what they are trying to achieve (apart from the obvious).

I saw a bit of commentary saying ….
Another tragic event unfolds. The police are quick to act and describe the attacker as ‘white British’.

The racists et al have some options -
“They are lying to us to keep the peace…….get on the streets

‘Oh, that’s ok then nothing to see here

I wonder which is most likely

I can't help but think some folks have missed the quite dignity of the piece and the dismay at the killings being used as a political football. Then we see exactly that.

A little respect lads.

Incredibly powerful and measured speech. I hope people listen.
