I know there was mention of this in the Britain First camp thread, but I thought it deserved it's own.

The grieving husband of Jo Cox, the Labour MP shot and stabbed to death, has called on people to fight “the hatred that killed her” as detectives investigated whether her killing was politically motivated.

The 41-year-old mother of two young children was the victim of a daylight attack outside her West Yorkshire constituency surgery by a man who, according to two witnesses, shouted “Britain first” during the assault.

The first killing of a serving MP since Irish Republicans murdered Ian Gow in 1990 stunned Westminster on Thursday and led to the suspension of campaigning for next week’s EU referendum until Saturday. Cox had taken part in a high-profile event on Wednesday supporting the remain campaign on the river Thames.

Police arrested a 52-year-old man, named locally as Thomas Mair, who was described as using an “old-fashioned” gun and a knife in the attack, shortly before 1pm. Eyewitnesses said Cox’s attacker approached her outside the public library in Birstall when she left her constituency surgery with her aides. In a tussle, he shot her up to three times and stabbed her repeatedly.

The former charity worker and MP for Batley and Spen was declared dead at 1.48pm by a doctor working with a paramedic crew attending to her injuries.

Really fucking awful

You're not kidding. Such a beautiful and intelligent woman, and a working class kid who made it in life.

[Brian Peacock]

Absolutely. Desperately sad.

Her husband has shown more fortitude and soundness of mind than I could ever have mustered in the circumstances. This is his statement.

Today is the beginning of a new chapter in our lives. More difficult, more painful, less joyful, less full of love. I and Jo’s friends and family are going to work every moment of our lives to love and nurture our kids and to fight against the hate that killed Jo.

Jo believed in a better world and she fought for it every day of her life with an energy, and a zest for life that would exhaust most people.

She would have wanted two things above all else to happen now, one that our precious children are bathed in love and two, that we all unite to fight against the hatred that killed her. Hate doesn’t have a creed, race or religion, it is poisonous.

Jo would have no regrets about her life, she lived every day of it to the full.

Worrying times.

The man arrested over the killing of the MP Jo Cox bought books from a US-based neo-Nazi group, including guides on how to build homemade guns and explosives, according an anti-hate campaign group in the US, Matthew Weaver and Nicky Woolf report.

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) published receipts that appeared to show Thomas Mair bought, among other books, a manual on how to make a homemade pistol from the National Alliance.

The receipts, some of which date back to the 1990s, showed Mair spent more than $620 (£436) on literature from the group, which advocates the creation of an all-white homeland and the eradication of Jewish people.

He bought books that instructed readers on the “chemistry of powder & explosives”, “incendiaries”, and a work called Improvised Munitions Handbook. The handbook included detailed instructions on constructing a pipe pistol using parts available in DIY stores.

Receipted items also included Ich Kampfe, an illustrated handbook issued to members of the Nazi party in 1942.

The only solution is to stop these crazed English extremists from coming here.

Unethical journalists claiming he shouted "Britain First" without any evidence and eye witnesses say that never happened. Maria Eagle deleted her tweet about shouting "Britain First."

Leftist media very obviously trying to take advantage of the situation. Out right LYING to the public.

How's that gun control working out?

Going to keep swallowing wholesale the leftist media lies?

One gun death versus 30000 annually? Sounds like it's working very well to me.

Well, she was pro Islamic refugees / immigration so she already had blood on her hands from the amount of murders robberies and rapes these muslims commit. Now I don't condone her murder, but I hope some day we can charge politicians like her with war crimes and genocide charges just like we do 90 year old nazis.

You're not serious are you?

[rachelbean]

He's serious. He has repugnant beliefs. Not really worth engaging with unless you enjoy bashing your head against a wall.

[Svartalf]

how about bashing HIS head against the wall?

Don't go fighting fire with fire...that is immature.
