The shooting of Labour MP Jo Cox by a presumed right-wing extremist will be swiftly exploited by the political establishment and blamed on those who want to limit immigration and vote to leave the European Union.
Mother of three Cox, who supported the ‘Vote Remain’ campaign, was stabbed and shot in her constituency near Leeds today.
The killer reportedly shouted “Britain first” during the incident, although Maria Eagle MP, one of the most prominent people to make this claim, has since deleted her tweet about it.
Update: 52-year-old man arrested after
Labour MP Jo Cox was shot in street outside her constituency surgery has
been named as Tommy Mair. A brief public data history search reveals
that Mair had psychological problems:
Thomas Mair, 46, started volunteering at the park after
learning about the opportunity through the Mirfield-based Pathways Day
Centre for adults with mental health problems. He said: “I can
honestly say it has done me more good than all the psychotherapy and
medication in the world. “Many people who suffer from mental illness are
socially isolated and disconnected from society, feelings of
worthlessness are also common mainly caused by long-term unemployment.“All these problems are alleviated by doing voluntary work. Getting
out of the house and meeting new people is a good thing, but more
important in my view is doing physically demanding and useful labour.“When you have finished there is a feeling of achievement which is emotionally rewarding and psychologically fulfilling.
“For people for whom full-time, paid employment is not possible for a
variety of reasons, voluntary work offers a socially positive and
therapeutic alternative.”
