I actually feel embarrassed for you, for saying this. What an unpleasant thing to say. The only person who has tried to make some ‘gain’ is you, with that comment against another poster.
A public servant has died and I see only horror and sympathy from posters on this site.

Who’d have thought it, Mainey knows more about Islam than Imran Khan!

And what about the thousands of immigrants/refugees who have come to the UK and not stabbed someone? You know, the grand majority?

How sad to use this tragedy to waffle on with your nasty dog whistle politics.

Predictably, now that the Police, have indicated a possible link to Islamic extremism to the suspect, this thread has largely deteriorated into another bout of Islam bashing.

We know terrorists exist, motivated by extreme views and with no respect for democracy. They come in various guises, and whilst those from an Islamic background are seemingly currently the most prevalent and threatening, all are dangerous and to be unreservedly condemned. I urge caution in rushing to judgement, as until the murderer is fully interrogated and his mental health assessed, we don't really know very much.

What this demonstrates is that MPs are not safe in today's world, and that's not going to change. Many MPs are confirming they face an increasing number of threats, including many death threats. This is the reality in 2021. We need to consider why that is, and how we respond to it.

I have read the suggestion that MPs surgeries should now take place online. If that was matched by some public meetings held in venues with security in place, perhaps broadcasted locally and available to view later, then public access could be maintained whilst the MPs safety improved.

Something needs to be done, or we risk people walking away from the job. Jo Cox's sister, Kim Leadbeater, who is now an MP, is already under pressure to do just that.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

Well said Hrolf.

You are being presumptive, this does not say it has been confirmed as Islamic extremism

It is being investigated as potential terrorist act.
