Brexit Campaigns Suspended After British Lawmaker Critically Shot By "Britain First" (Jo Cox dead)
Zerohedge ^ | 06/16/2016 | Tyler Durden

Update: 52-year-old man arrested after Labour MP Jo Cox was shot in street outside her constituency surgery has been named as Tommy Mair. A brief public data history search reveals that Mair had psychological problems:

Thomas Mair, 46, started volunteering at the park after learning about the opportunity through the Mirfield-based Pathways Day Centre for adults with mental health problems. He said: "I can honestly say it has done me more good than all the psychotherapy and medication in the world. "Many people who suffer from mental illness are socially isolated and disconnected from society, feelings of worthlessness are also common mainly caused by long-term unemployment.

"All these problems are alleviated by doing voluntary work. Getting out of the house and meeting new people is a good thing, but more important in my view is doing physically demanding and useful labour.

"When you have finished there is a feeling of achievement which is emotionally rewarding and psychologically fulfilling.

"For people for whom full-time, paid employment is not possible for a variety of reasons, voluntary work offers a socially positive and therapeutic alternative."

* * *

Update: Responding to unconfirmed allegations the shooter shouted "Britain First!" before the incident, the group Britain First has said:

A single eyewitness also claimed (unconfirmed) that the assailant “apparently” shouted “Britain First” during the attack, but this is pure hearsay at the moment.

A single eyewitness also claimed (unconfirmed) that the assailant “apparently” shouted “Britain First” during the attack, but this is pure hearsay at the moment.

There is LOTS of use of words such as “apparently” and “allegedly”.

That hasn’t stopped the media publishing multiple articles condemning Britain First for somehow being involved.

Britain First obviously is NOT involved and would never encourage behaviour of this sort.

As an MP and and a mother, we pray that Jo Cox makes a full recovery.

Update: As BBG adds, campaigning was suspended in Britain’s European Union membership referendum after news of the attack, which happened just before 1 p.m., came out.

Update: Here is a photo of Jo Cox' assailant getting arrested. As SkyNews adds, "West Yorkshire Police said a 52-year-old man was arrested in connection with the attack, which happened near the town's library. Witness Hichem Ben Abdallah said a man "was kicking her as she was lying on the floor." He said that after a bystander intervened, the attacker produced a gun, stepped back and shot her twice."

"Stupid. Why suspend when it was some nut?"

Dear departed dad was attached to the Brits waiting to "point" out from Burma after WW2. He always commented on the English craziness and over developed sense of fair play.

Go back to JFK, that’s why we got stuck with the 1965 Immigration Act, which has effectively destroyed this country.

Not to be unduly cynical, but I bet there’s a Jock Ruby on the way to the Old Bailey holding cells right now.

They don't need a Jack Ruby if the poor guy they hang the crime on is black or crazy. If he's crazy, no one will believe him. If he's black - just look at the guys accused in the Chandra Levy case or the Mary Pinchot Meyer murder.

According to the people who set up this kind of attack, the murders are easy. It's the suicides that are more difficult. Ask Vince Foster.

There is a great deal of doubt about claims of anyone hearing shouts of "Britain first".

One eye witness has said he heard no such remarks and a labour MP deleted her claim. What is known is that this guy is a well known loony.

Eyewitness tells reporters he didn't hear anyone shout "Britain first", saying: "Never heard that". Labour MP Maria Eagle deletes tweet claiming killer shouted “Britain First”

Label me however you want
BUT
I would be checking the shoe patterns and for gun shot residue on this particular witness....

Kind of like something happens in the Deep Desert of any hell hole in the world and CNN or such will come up with a ‘witness’ that speaks the ‘Kings English’ better than any Brit.

However, when they send in a new supply of 7/11 clerks, or cab drivers, they don’t recognize ‘hello from go f yourself’...

LOL! I was just told that yesterday by British ‘friends’ on Facebook. Sadly, God DOES work in mysterious ways...

Oh, so not only do Brits have gun violence they have “It’s Guiliani Time!” type liars as well. The left is the same all over the world.

****False Flag.

Polling had the euro elites scared. They had to so something. Eggs had to be broken and all that.****

I wonder if there are plans in place to do the same thing here if Donald Trump’s REAL polling numbers say he will win. Will the left somehow have a “Trump supporter” commit a murder or something like that?

Personal opinion only. Since most of the GOPe have announced plans to skip the convention because of ‘racist Trump’, I suspct they have something awful planned for the convention.

No clue what precisely. But bad enough they won’t be there for the ‘show’.

Looks like Britain is going to stay in the EU. We’re watching a nations suicide. If we’re not careful we will follow suit.

Or have a thoroughly compromised Federal government develop some security lapses at a key moment. How many trillions of dollars are at stake and the entire future of the West is in the balance. With the number of Muslims and transnationalists now in control, it is easy to see how one more broken egg would be a price they would pay.

Campaigning was suspended, but the vote will still happen, I figure.

Suspiciously like what McCain did in ‘08. He suspended HIS campaign but, oddly, the democrat candidate did not.

Well that could certainly start a Civil War. It could be that’s what they want. Martial law and suspended voting would be a given.

For at least the past quarter decade, every single president and all the cabinet members have been globalists. They can’t afford to have an ‘outsider’ have a look at the books to see what they’ve REALLY been up to. And who has been paying them for influence.

See Black Agnes’s post 109 and My post 117. It looks like many of us are on the same page.
