    Another MP has been stabbed (update - murdered)



    https://www.echo-news.co.uk/news/196...-leigh-church/

    MP Sir David Amess has been stabbed in major incident at his constituency surgery in Leigh.

    The Tory MP for Southend West was holding a surgery at the Belfairs Methodist Church, in Eastwood Road North.

    A man reportedly ran into the church in the last hour, before the MP was stabbed "several times".

    Apparently he's fighting for his life.

    Air ambulance on the scene.

        I seriously wonder what is up with people. I hope they catch the fecker and don't go lenient on them because their dog got run over when they were 7.

          Now reported as fatal - hope the perpetrator is locked away for good.

            I looked at his Wikipedia page, he was a good MP to his constituents and cared about others.

            A good man and a loss to democracy.

              Lots of nutters out there sadly.

              It is a pity as Cojak says he was a positive asset

                The perpetrator was arrested at the scene.

                A 25 year old man.

                  There's a good chance he will be - the last one who got done for this was given a whole life tariff (I was in court when he was sentenced in fact).

                    There was an attempted murder of an MP, Stephen Timms (Labour East Ham), in 2010 The woman convicted got a life sentence with 15 years minimum.

                    (Sorry just hearing the roll call of MPs and their aides who got killed.)
