Tory MP stabbed to death while conducting surgery for constituents

That MP must have upset the attacker in some way!

There is no other way to take that comment but anything other than the assailant at least had an excuse and your latter comments don't take away from that either.

And if this is actually the case, can we say that Labour's Angela Rayner who only a few weeks ago called the Tory's 'Scum' is in part responsible in the same way when Jo Cox was murdered it was blamed in part on the Tory's Brexit campaign which David Arronovitch of The Times said 'emboldened extremism'. Yes I think we can.

The woman mp that was stabbed before, was that a pro Brexit head that killed her?

The motive here and even more importantly the reaction of the Tory Government are vital to ensuring a continuing and functioning Democracy in the UK IMO.

1. Is this a politically motivated attack?

2. Was it a mental health breakdown?

3. If it is political, was the motive left wing or right wing?

4. If the motivation was left wing? Was it a blow against a perceived nascent Tory perpetual government, what was the trigger how can it be countered? There are already significant concerns re: the new Tory voting bill and restrictions that some on the fringe left see as a power grab. If this was the motivation? What is the reaction?

5. If the motivation was right wing? What further steps is the perpetrator hoping to achieve? Is his attack a blow against a government he believes isn't being aggressive or proactive enough in securing the Union, being British, protecting borders and being Uber Brexity?

The reaction to any of the potential scenarios is something that needs to be measured and cautious. Any kneejerk of restrictions or additional legislation could do damage to what is already a delicate political balance in the UK IMO.

There is a real danger of an incompetent Tory administration attempting to spin this attack into a Reichstag moment and whilst the murder of any Public Representative is a tragedy. It must not be used as fuel for a moral panic and power grab.

I also find it quite troubling that in the time of "Brexit" since 2014, 2 sitting MPs have been murdered, versus 4 in the entirety of the troubles when HMG and Tory and Unionist MPs in particular were targets of paramilitaries.

RIP to Sir David Amess and I do hope that this doesn't signal a restriction of British democracy.

RIP to the MP

If anything it's the opposite, people just ignore them, one time it was a position of status now they are perceived as little more than oddballs and petty criminals, People talk a lot but when it comes down to it that's all it is ,talk,

Condemn what happened to Mr Amess totally

RIP to the MP.

Let me guess, politicians will not have to deal with the public in the future. Introduced just in time for further draconian restrictions and lockdowns arriving later in the year.

The event was already presented to us very quickly, even before he passed away. Perfect theatre.
