IF
a second British MP in Sir David Amess was killed in broad daylight…
THEN
clearly, something is rotten in the UK…
BECAUSE
irrespective of political affiliation, publicly elected politicians should feel safe to represent their constituency. Jo Cox was killed in the street by a right-wing extremist in 2016 a week before the Brexit referendum, and the BBC is reporting that the suspect in Amess’ murder a Somalian national. Attacks on politicians are a threat to democracy, and something needs to be done to combat political opinion amongst British inhabitants.
