They might say something at 5pm - they've apparently scheduled a press conference for then. Elsewhere someone has tweeted they are worried by the way some presenters keep referring to Jo Cox in the past tense and hoping it doesn't mean anything.yahyah wrote:Even if the report is not eventually substantiated by the police, I reserve the right to be concerned about what Britain First activists are actually doing at their survival camps.

Eyewitness tells reporters he didn't hear anyone shout "Britain first", saying: "Never heard that".
Ugh, remember that happening before the official announcements were made for both Donald Dewar's and John Smith's demise.

How on earth does he make himself available to constituents then Ohso?

I've never heard anyone refer to his case workers either. You have to write to him c/o HofP, and then he fixes up to meet you...According to another Labour member, he sometime's takes his father with him.rebeccariots2 wrote:How on earth does he make himself available to constituents then Ohso?

I'm trying not to judge until I know with any degree of certainty what I'm judging upon. On one level, what motivates such a man is irrelevant to the fact that a young woman, with much to offer, with two young children to bring up, has been killed, and that everyone who knew her has been hurt and damaged.RobertSnozers wrote:As with Orlando, how this scumbag justified the hate in his putrid heart does not interest me in the slightestmbc1955 wrote:Bastard bastard bastard bastard.

Your post mirrors my own concerns. Exactly.TobyLatimer wrote:It could be that it is totally unrelated to the issues around immigration or the referendum but I somehow doubt it. For the last few years we have been subject to wall to wall saturation of xenophobia and racism in the media, a PM reffering to refugees as swarms, Farage popping up on the BBC at any given moment to advertise his cause.
Until we know for sure what the murderer's motive was I'm keeping an open mind though, but there has been a climate which has been allowed to develop that a lot of people in high places should bear a responsibility for, I don't like the way things are going. Not one bit.
Today is the beginning of a new chapter in our lives. More difficult, more painful, less joyful, less full of love. I and Jo’s friends and family are going to work every moment of our lives to love and nurture our kids and to fight against the hate that killed Jo.
Jo believed in a better world and she fought for it every day of her life with an energy, and a zest for life that would exhaust most people.
She would have wanted two things above all else to happen now, one that our precious children are bathed in love and two, that we all unite to fight against the hatred that killed her. Hate doesn’t have a creed, race or religion, it is poisionous.
Jo would have no regrets about her life, she lived every day of it to the full.
