The last time an MP was seriously injured was in 2010. The nutter who attacked him claimed it was due to how he voted on the Iraq war. linky
The last time someone physically tried to assault an MP before this was this month linky The MP is an annoying self publicised but still....
Hopefully now the police and CPS will take threats to MPs and other politicians seriously, and actually not just give the perpetrators all fines or suspended sentences then treat the politician as paranoid regardless of whether they are Nigel Farage, some random back bencher or some unknown councillor."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Hinckley shot Ronald Reagan after becoming infatuated with Jodie Foster in Taxi Driver, Chapman shot John Lennon after reading Catch 22. If people are extrapolating this event out for political mileage before knowing the state of mind of the person then they are standing on dodgy ground.
Tonybee in the guardian today is the very lowest level of journalism I have seen for decades, same goes for Massie's ( published, pulled, published, pulled, edited, published ) article in the Spectator.
It fills me with some level of satisfaction knowing the Guardian will be gone in a few years, burning through that 700 million they got for selling autotrader at 100 million a year.Comment

Basic needs are considered a luxury in this country and can only be obtained with a premiership footballers salary.
Expect more to come a lot more.
Maybe those parasites will wake up and smell the coffee then.Comment

TBF though if anyone is willing to deprive a human being of life, they have to mentally deranged/ill, I remain convinced of that. I realise I have totally contradicted myself but it does go to show it's not simply a switch on/switch off situation...Comment

It is a pity human society can never be balanced and based on facts and the realities of history and human nature rather than idiotic ideals and morality, we just swing from one extreme to the other. Much of today's anti-racism is just an inverted racism, a ridiculous belief that, despite the low performance and well documented problems of poor nations, they are somehow all wonderful, hard working, law-abiding people the moment they cross our borders. Any problems are down to racism and exclusion by the horrid white man.bloggoth
