Ye Gods... Tragedy... Woe.
Jun. 16th, 2016 07:46 pmSome (British) looney has stabbed and shot a British MP: Jo Cox, MP for Batley. She was in her early forties.
Lord rest her soul, and console her family in this their hour of grief.
She was a Cambridge grad and a committed campaigner for justice and human rights in the best way. More than this, she was a mum.
First reports indicated that the unbalanced chap who shot her was a bit of a loner, and an outer. Not a Muslim, not an Irish Republican, but a Brexiteer. I'm sure that these first reports will be shown to be mistaken, and anyway, I'm pretty sure that most Brexiteers aren't quite as extreme as to want to murder their Remain-inclined parliamentary representatives. But, as always, I'm prepared to be put right about this.
