But the Tories have been running both sides
Corbyn and Labour went on holiday lol.
Oh well I respectfully disagree, but there's no point going around in circles.
That's probably what he was getting at tbh.

Front page of The Sun is about as distasteful as you can get.

Seems so.
Interesting at at least one newspaper is at least acknowledging the terrorist link.

Jesus fucking wept. What have we done?
Why does anyone have to be a traitor*? It's a difference in political opinion, not spying for a foreign power.
*You know, other than the piece of shit that murdered Jo Cox.
Hes our Breivik. Whilst I am happy we have clarity, it is quite dangerous that people might listen to him. Especially if there is a Remain vote.
Even if there is a Leave vote, Boris and Gove have been playing coy on immigration, with their main aim around legal powers not reducing the flow of people.
EDIT; also shame on him for politicising the event /s

We?
I don't know if you can put the blame on any collective "we" for this. He acted out of some misguided notion that people who wanted to stay in the EU were traitors, if it wasn't the EU referendum, it might have been at one of the Britain First rallies or during the general election.
Anyone who doesn't think like him or believe in what he does is a traitor in his eyes and very likely would have acted regardless at some point. After all, he was being guided by extremist propaganda and wouldn't be surprising if it's revealed he was a Stormfront member too...

Sorry but wishing folk to be killed for exercising their political beliefs betrays what this country was built on, surely that must be the true basis of being a traitor, so basically its ok to wish folk to die because they believe in a free and integrated UK. I am all for freedom of opinion but there must be a line where one cannot cross, i saw folk last night wanting a return to the death penalty for remain voters and it wasnt just the odd tweet.
Ah, it wasn't clear to me that these other hardliners were actually calling for people to be killed. Then never mind my previous post, because we are in absolute agreement.

I'm talking about the culture of blaming everyone but the people responsible for why people's lives are so miserable these days. I'm not saying that anyone told this vermin to do this, but I am saying that you keep telling someone that X is to blame for their life and that Y is a threat; that eventually some psycho is going to end up snapping.

I do think that the press and some of our politicians bear some responsibility for this.

Ah, okay. I misread your post. My bad.
I agree but he's been a right wing Nazi supporter for some years now, so it's hard to know if the EU ref is what pushed him over the edge or if he finally built up the courage to go out and do what he might have been planning to to for years...
Probably won't be any. Localised incident. Cops made it clear with that statement how they were going to treat this, but they might surprise everyone with a terror related charge...unlikely though.

Who the fuck is Louise Mensch, verified on Twitter and abusing everyone and saying it's clearly a mental health issue nothing else.
When confronted with his epsiode in court this morning, her reply:
@bethanyusher @MikeEcoPR wibble wibble I'm a hatstand
What absolute gutter trash she is whoever she may be!

Yeah she is showing herself today as a fanatical right winger, swearing and abusing everyone who disagrees with her, bet when her kids grow up and look back and what she said they will be ashamed, total moron she is.

It won't be a terror charge. Not because he's not Al-qiada based terrorism - the government's nations terrorism strategy is clear that right wing terrorism is a priority, and indeed in several areas that's more of a priority than al-Qaida terrorism.
It's because he was clearly not acting as part of a group or organised effort - that tends to be how the UK deals with these things (see the Lee Rigby killers for the same thing).

Lone wolf terror attacks are a thing and he's confirmed this morning his actions were political in motive.
It's terrorism. I'm not sure what else you can call it to be honest.
I'm just saying, this is how the government and police forces classify things in the UK. I think there's also an aspect of activity that goes into it - the difference between reading a website and committing acts, versus talking too and communicating with terrorists and then committing acts. Generally the security services are decent at intercepting and monitoring the latter, but the former is far harder to manage.
Yea, pretty disgusting.
She's a right wing, fascist, publicity whore of the highest order. She got voted out of her seat in Corby because she was never fucking there, and was just trying to make a name for herself in the media instead.

Absolute cretin. All she believes is hate.

To me at least, a terrorist attack is one that is aimed at inciting fear in the public at large and targets a group/ethnicity/nationality/minority of people or is even indiscriminate. Not necessarily just because something is political is it a terrorist attack. This was an assassination. Jo Cox was a specific individual in a position of authority. I don't know if an assassination comes under terrorism laws now or laws that pre-date them. I'm just talking semantics.

Yeah she has lost the plot, i think she should be assessed for mental illness because her reactions of twitter and her conspiracy theories about everything suggest she is a bit unstable.
Former Tory MP who now makes a living spouting shit on some Murdoch owned site in the States. Oh, and also a Fox News contributor.

It seems frustratingly ironic that the Scottish had the nice and relatively civil referendum (obviously probably didn't feel like it at the time) while the English get the one that involves murder.
On a different note that makes this even more sad than it already was, after checking the current BBC article, realised that in addition to all the referendum stuff:
There was likely planning for her birthday.
What's sad is I'm sure some people will still try to spin this as nothing to do with Brexit, or the poisonous tone of the Brexit campaign...
Oh, right, Mensch, of course. Dellingpole too. Breitbart. How silly of me to forget the usual right-wing suspects.

The whole campaign has been built off a foundation of scare mongering on both sides. It's been a shit affair from start to finish and frankly embarrassing for a nation that is supposedly a paragon of democracy.
What a fucking loon. Lock him away already.
I hope no takes her obvious bait. She's an absolutely disgusting individual. As she's shown time and again.
The attempted deflection by some right wing commentators has been appalling but fully expected.
Both sides have indeed used scare tactics, however I don't see remain campaigners assassinating the opposition or engaging in paramilitary training camps.
