Sorry lads, most things are dealt with well on here but I think there should have been some permabans handed out in here.

People have aired opinions that were very controversial and given this involves someone who is currently seriously injured then deletions were probably appropriate... permabans for having unpopular views would be rather dodgy - so long as those posters don't carry on posting after being warned then no need for that. I think the mods have handled the whole thing perfectly.

Crikey, it has been a while since ive seen so many deleted posts in a thread which is still open! :eek:

This is awful though, people are awful. Glad I'm not a person.

There's about to be a press conference, which will be streamed on the BBC News channel.

Not one news report i have seen has yet has confirmed the "Britain First" allegation.

I think most have accepted who you are and take you with a pinch of salt tbh. You've made your outlook on life very clear numerous times.

//This is a very tragic incident. In Yorkie of all places

Hope she pulls through, regardless of her political position. Just when we were all discussing how safe the UK is because we don't have a "gun culture" too.

Poor lady - all she was doing was doing her job by openly interacting with her constituents and in the end we are civilised country. Just because people might have differences,it is no excuse for violence,maybe a stern discussion over a beer,but not this sort of crap!!

Surprise, it's another complete loser.

Hope she pulls through. Having contact with your MP on a one to one basis is important for democracy, hope other MPs don't get scared and cut the surgeries down.

She has died.

RIP.

How awful, RIP.

Screeeech · 16 Jun 2016 at 17:16

RIP thats terrible, terrible..

Had the news on in my other monitor all afternoon whilst working, was really hoping she'd pull through,

She looked like a really lovely person, nobody deserved that.

Reading the eyewitness reports on the BBC is horrible

Sorry for the insult to another member.

I hear he shot her twice and then when she went down he shot her in the face, if that behaviour is not of a mentally ill person then i dont know what is.

I hope she pulls through, her husband posted a pic of her with no words, she has two children also.

Thoughts go out to them.

e:

Posted above before i heard the news that she died, absolutely shocking.

RIP

From the earlier reports of the details of the shooting, it seemed very serious indeed.

Really sad to hear she's now died, though. She has two young children (pictured with them yesterday on a anti-brexit boat)
