This country is on a fast downhill trajectory.
Following America down the pan and dragging the rest of western society with us.
RIP
Absolutely I would. Our politicians must be accessible. Unfortunately there is always risk, there is more risk for plenty of other careers. No one should be attacked at work, but this shouldn’t put our elected representatives in a locked room away from their electorate.
I believe that most go into public office to help those in their communities (though some won’t) and these people appreciate these risks.
I agree.
Folks need to remember that people on the other side of the screen, either tv, computer monitor or smartphone, are REAL people, with real families, loved ones.
We've been on this trajectory for far longer than most people want to admit.
I think it goes deeper than that unfortunately. Look at how divisive it's got over the pond, this 'culture war' crap is destabilising western democracy. With the fires probably being intentionally fanned on SM by all the foreign influences.
You can only hope this will snap some people's heads back and think twice calling people scum. Unfortunately when you have certain MP's doing the name-calling themselves, it normalizes this behavior.
The west is in decline and it is probably terminal
Depressing news to start with and an even more depressing update, no doubt to be followed up with some utterly pathetic reasoning/excuse from perpetrator.
It didn't change when Jo Cox got shot before a constituents surgery and i'd expect a similar 'we won't be made to cower in fear' response from most MPs again now.

A man has been murdered in our supposed civilised society and that is another tragedy for a family, friends and colleagues. Turning this into a debate about politics, beliefs and mostly opinions is not something I wish to partake for that is the domain of the permanently angry.
RIP.
RIP.
Might also do if some people stop calling others traitors and enemies of the people.

Not surprised the alleged killer is young. The disenfranchisement that the young feel from the Tory government is palpable. Honestly surprised we haven't seen more attacks.
What do you expect though when you have a government that shows nothing but contempt for large sections of society?

Mass protests, strikes etc. Not murdering people..
