Thomas Mair's preliminary hearing is scheduled for today.


The case is being heard under the terrorism protocol, although the charges Mair is facing are not terror charges.

This is because what he is accused of fits the template of the Terrorism Act - the use of violence designed to influence the Government or to intimidate the public for the purposes of advancing a political, religious or ideological cause.

Seems that "steaming piss" comment was real.

A Tory councillor has been suspended after responding to news of a memorial fund set up after Labour MP Jo Cox was killed by saying “I’ve just donated the steam off my piss”.

Stephen Parnaby, a leader of the East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said in a statement: "Following inappropriate and offensive comments made on social media relating to the sad and tragic death of Jo Cox MP, I have suspended Cllr Dominic Peacock from the East Riding of Yorkshire Council Conservative Group with immediate effect.

"I shall be reporting this to a meeting of the full Group and my recommendation will be that he be expelled.

Boggles the mind an elected politician can want to literally piss on the grave of an assassination victim.
