So, so furious....
... at the assassination of Jo Cox, MP.
The eyewitness reports say the attacker was yelling 'Britain First'. Britain First are an ultra-right fascist party, with a special penchant for Islamophobia. But I had my own run-in with them during the Rochester By-election when I found their vice-chair, Jayda Fransen (their candidate at Rochester), and a dozen of her thugs cornering a lone, and very slight, black woman against the wall of the War Memorial.
Jayda Fransen is in the media bleating that the killing of Jo Cox is not what they stand for. I saw with my own eyes precisely what they stand for, what she stands for, and Britain First have blood on their hands whether or not the attacker was a member.

And ... I'm at a loss.
It hurts the heart.

I am so sorry to hear it.

There is evidence the assailant has some form of MH issues. The right wing has decided that means there is no need to look at motive, at what radicalised him. Which is remarkably convenient for them.
This despite other evidence he was reading extremist literature as early as the 80s.
