Apologies for the question given the timing and all, but when was the last time something like this actually happened here?

A mp was stabbed in a surgery like 5-10 years ago. Can't recall who.

Edit Stephen Timms

I was thinking of this. I cannot remember the last time a MP was physically assaulted while on their constituency duties..

Stephen Timms was stabbed in 2010 for supporting the iraq war.

 

[Spring Drive]

Cunt. Hope she pulls through.

I had to re-read that because it sounded not quite right at first

 

[klonere]

It's almost like rah-rah pseudo facist nationalism would have a radicalizing effect on people. Almost.

Can't wait for the false flag accusations, just so we can have the full alt-right experience this side of the Atlantic.

 

[| Praxis |]

I have to go back to work soon, so can't update the op with what will hopefully be the good news of her condition improving.

Wishing her all the best. Mother of two, this is so sad.

Already had false flag accusations on twitter apparently.

I have a question, what do you say when you talk about surgeries. I only know of the doctor-and-nurse type.

exactly the same except rather them discussing a health issue, you talk to an mp about a local constituency issue or a national political one. They will try to help you and may even raise your issue in parliament.

 

[Lagamorph]

Shot twice then kicked as she lay bleeding on the floor.
The guy is then reported to have calmly walked away.

Jesus Christ.

Either he is just an evil person or there are serious mental health issues involved.

It's basically an office that people can walk into and discuss issues with their MP

 

[Slime]

Far-right having its day in the sun, I guess. Makes me worry even more about the US election season. Trump is getting these sorts of people riled with identical rhetoric.

Hope she pulls through.

What a fucking travesty.

Surgery is essentially the mp open meeting for constituents to talk to their mp about issues.

Jesus this is just awful, I really hopes she pulls through.

An MP will be at a library or hall or somewhere similar and people can turn up and have a chat about local issues and such that are important to people. They're usually low-key and focused on community issues or action.

Local constituents talk about their grievances. It's a form if direct democracy. Bring up issues to your local MP and they try to help/bring them up in parliament.

What a truly awful country we have become, I hope she pulls through this, so sad, nobody deserves this just because they have a different opinion.

Ah, thank you. We don't that type of thing here so I didn't know what it was referring to.

God I hate it all.

Willing Jo to be okay, nobody nobody nobody deserves this.

Edit Stephen Timms

Edit: I see the definition of surgery was different.

 

[Exterminieren]

He was having surgery and someone stabbed him? WTF?

In the context of British politics, an MP's surgery is a open forum where members of the public can air grievances.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Edit: I see the definition of surgery was different.

Surgery can also mean a discussion session, tackling problems constituents have in the area.

 

[shiftplusone]

Cafe owner Clarke Rothwell, who witnessed the attack, said he heard a "loud popping noise that sounded like a balloon burst - a loud balloon".

as someone who lives in the US, this is such an unfamiliar reaction on something

We don't hear "a popping noise that sounded like a balloon burst"

we know its fucking gunshots.

Crazy.

anyway, hope she recovers. Shit is terrible.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Either he is just an evil person or there are serious mental health issues involved.

Or maybe he just hates her and what she stands for and decided to do something about it.

 

[NekoFever]

On the 'surgery' question, the word comes from the Greek for doing something personally or by hand. That's why it's applied here, since the MP is personally attending to the concerns of their constituents.

Yeah, I suspected that was the case. But couldn't they cover themselves by saying something akin to Unconfirmed reports say, etc.

Or just not spread hearsay bullshit.

Alot of gang violence with guns in the UK are with 22. Caliber pistols. Pea shooters.

That's why in the rare time a shooting does happen, people often survive it.

I'd imagine, outside of novelty ankle guns and the like, the average US handgun is something a bit more powerful and alot louder.

 

[Lagamorph]

Or maybe he just hates her and what she stands for and decided to do something about it.

What he decided to do about it would put him under the 'Evil' category then.

 

[Lead]

Even if this wasn't the case, it IS the future with 3D printing, right?

Look up lathes and cnc machines.

Plastic don't make for good guns, steel does though.

[InfiniDragon]

As an American, I'm really sorry you guys had to get a taste of the stupidity we're dealing with over here. Dude sounds almost to a tee like what a radical Trump supporter would be if born in America.

I hope that she pulls through, and glad they caught his ass.

 

[AlphaDragoon]

Horrible news, especially in a country where that kinda crap is uncommon (unlike here in the US, sadly). Hope she pulls through.

 

[Saint of Killers]

Yeah, ignore what I said previously regarding Sky/BBC. Sky now saying she may have been shot three times whilst being stabbed. *switches channels*

 

[Condom]

I hope she recovers.

ctrl+f terrorism

mentally instable, bad childhood

 

[Saint of Killers]

Footage of that guy being arrested on BBC. (Unconfirmed social media footage just to be clear.)

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

I hope she recovers.



mentally instable, bad childhood

let's find out how the bbc reports it.

Or Cameron.

Chickens coming home to roost mate.

edit: thing is, they could be absolutely acceptable explanations for the man's actions. Just the inconsistency is breath taking.

 

[Mindwipe]

ctrl+f terrorism

If (**IF**) reports are true it is absolutely terrorism. One hundred percent.

Bet he doesn't get done with that though.

How long did it take Cameron to come out when Rigby was tragically murdered?

Or the BBC?

 

[Jackpot]

Let's wait a bit before we pin it on right-wing extremists or immigrants.

"When I looked round there's a man stood there in his 50s with a white baseball cap on and a jacket with a gun, an old fashioned looking gun in his hand," he said.

Mr Abdallah said the weapon had "looked handmade" and a man who had been wrestling with the gunman continued even after seeing the gun.

If the shooter is old maybe some war relic?

 

[Walshicus]

BBC not reporting on the 'Britain First' shout... Confirmed yet?

 

[Saint of Killers]

BBC not reporting on the 'Britain First' shout... Confirmed yet?

No. Even Sky News were prefacing it with 'uncofirmed reports'.

 

[OverBlood 3]

Absolutely disgusting news. I hope she pulls through I really do.


People can get to fuck if they think they're going to turn this place into some loopy right wing doss hole.

 

[Acorn]

We're inching closer to becoming America junior already politically.

 

[Acorn]

Really shouldn't be throwing stuff like that out there unless it's solidly confirmed especially right now.

The new mayor of Cologne/Germany Henriette Reker got stabbed in the neck a day before the votes by a guy who said he feared about the Sharia getting introduced in Germany and that there would be to many immigrants...

[MrS]

This attack is so disturbing. Hope whoever is responsible is dealt with accordingly and that Jo pulls through.

 

[Jb]

This is incredibly disturbing. I hope from the bottom of my heart she makes it. She has to.

 

[Syder]

What's the latest on her condition?

 

[Saint of Killers]

BBC saying local people have named man being 'arrested' (in those pictures) as Tommy Mair. BBC also showed new footage of that same guy being arrested, but this time the bag mentioned in reports could be seen on the ground behind him.

 

[Saint of Killers]

What's the latest on her condition?

No updates on her condition at all.

 

[Hazzuh]

There will be a press conference from the police at 5pm (40 mins).
