Mate, that's well out of order.Its sad but he deserves to be stabbed for being a tory
Think another MP got stabbed and survived too? Wonder if they'll stop doing surgeries or at least increase security.RIP, this is so shocking
Thats two in five years after none since the IRA days
It'd be nice to see that too.Last I heard was that he was stabbed. Damn
no justification for this type of reaction
Time for the politician’s to behave like adults and calm people down
Hitler, yes. You, less so.So you’d let Hitler live?
you’d like to think but it won’t. I wonder if there’s going to be some blowback for Angela Raynor’s ‘scum’ comments regarding Tories the other week.Time for the politician’s to behave like adults and calm people down
I think that’s fairly safe to assume!Fecking hell, shocking news, RIP.
Someone with severe mental health issues?
"I'm not going to justify this"I'm going approach this subject rather gently because from the reactions previously I have some controversial views on this.
On a personal level this is an horrific act of violence and can never be condoned or justified. Nobody should ever fear going to a workplace because of something like this and it's a tragedy. A husband and father has been killed and thoughts and condolences obviously go out to them.
However, honestly I've been expecting something like this to happen for quite a while now. The restrictions and pressures that people have been put through, combined with the public actions of the Conservative Party, have built up a resentment against them. I've said on multiple occasions that I can understand how people can become radicalised as all you have to do is print out a list of headlines that explain our government's contempt for 'the common man'. The Covid response, the 'one rule for them, another for us' mentality, Barnard Castle, Matt Hancock, ending of furlough, removal of the UC uplift, rising costs etc, it builds up pressure. It was frankly only a matter of time before something like this turned violent.
As I've said before, I in know way am trying to justify the individual attack, but I can completely understand how that build-up could have sparked a violent response.

I'm in no way justifying it, the man who did it should have the book thrown at him as appropriate. But things like this aren't simply black or white and never occur in a vacuum."I'm not going to justify this"
*Writes list of reasons trying to justify it*
I don't think you understand what justification is if that's your take."I'm not going to justify this"
*Writes list of reasons trying to justify it*
Let's save the theorising until we actually know what happened and why.I'm in no way justifying it, the man who did it should have the book thrown at him as appropriate. But things like this aren't simply black or white and never occur in a vacuum.
There is a key difference between justification and explanation.
He's really not justifying it though, in fact, I'd say everything he said rings true. If there's actual food shortages come winter then I foresee more horrific acts of this ilk in the near future."I'm not going to justify this"
*Writes list of reasons trying to justify it*
Fortunately this one didn't happen. The other was a shocker though.He deserves 25 years for his mate bringing CBD oil into the country without his knowledge.
Doing his job in government, he's conservative so deserves to die.
Just another day on Redcafe...
On a real note that's terrible, RIP.
I don't know about that point. You are turning an isolated incident into something that it's not while not taking into account that the civilized society that you are referring to includes violent criminals, sexual offenders and thieves among many other things. It's important to keep in mind that out of millions of people a minority is not civilized at all and it has nothing to do with society or democracy.I don't like incidents like these. In a civilized society, regardless of how abhorrent and execrable a person and/or his views are, you can't murder him. Otherwise, a democratic society degenerates into an uncivilised one.
That's true, and i suppose you're right. Acts of incivility will be frequent in every society.I don't know about that point.
