Huddersfield Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 There are fine margins sometimes in life. I met Jo Cox a couple of times & attended a fundraiser for her just before the election with Neil & Glenys Kinnock who she was close friends with. Two of my football drinking mates, one of whom is a family member, work for her & had been with her earlier that day but had booked the afternoon off to watch the England match. There's little doubt that she would have become a senior & significant Labour politician over time. One thing I'd say from what I know is that, as you often discover when you find yourself closer to a media story than you'd wish, they talk crap & make up what they can't find out. I also find myself wondering why counter-terrorism aren't involved. I'm assuming if he's shouted some pro-ISIS statement rather than a pro-British statement they would have been. I'm really struggling to see what's different beyond the obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough it seems to be the Sun, Mail and the Times promoting the "loner with mental health issues, nothing to see here" line. Funny that. Also the Daily Record and the i reporting he was a loner who loved gardening. The only affiliation that has been reported by msm about his connection to extreme right wing organisations is infact in south africa, maybe if they dig more on this guy they will find more but there has been a few witnesses that have retracted their statement on the "Britain first" comment Strange but true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be amazed if more doesn't come out in the forthcoming days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stapes Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I know the media like to paint those who die as saints, regardless of the truth, but Jo Cox really does come across as one of the good ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
