Ally Bongo Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 "I could hear a loud popping noise that sounded like a balloon burst - a loud balloon - and when I looked round there's a man stood there in his 50s with a white baseball cap on and a jacket with a gun, an old fashioned looking gun in his hand, and he shot this lady once and then he shot her again, she fell to the floor, lent over shot her once more in the face area."

phart Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Mp's have been getting attacked (unfortunately) for centuries. It's not a new phenomenon wasn't one stabbed and almost died just 6 years ago? I feel the same way but think it may be a false feeling, I know more now, so of course I see the picture of reality more clearly. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are risks associated with most jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thplinth Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 A woman? She is an MP and a prominent Remain campaigner who is stabbed and shot to death by a man allegedly shouting "Britain First" days before the EU referendum a massively important decision and you bedwetting moral indignant twitchers think I give a feck? Stick it up your arse.  Let's see how it gets milked or otherwise in the coming days. Sorry to interrupt your grief fest. Gorge on...
