And when he was arrested, Mair told the police he was a "political activist".Consider Jo Cox's political actions on behalf of the citizens of nations other than Britain; consider her actions regarding ethnic diversity in her constituency and elsewhere; consider Thomas Mair's known political views; none of these things add up to mental illness being Mair's driving force for the murder. This incident was not like, say, the attack on MP Nigel Jones in 2000, in which it was obvious that mental issues were the prime mover.
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...to-traitors-freedom-for-britain-a7088851.htmlMair was arrested at 1.25pm in Risedale Avenue, about a mile from the scene, by two officers who saw a white man wearing a black blood-smeared baseball cap and carrying a black holdall.
They tackled him to the ground, and as he was detained he was heard to say, "I'm a political activist." He told police he had a knife in his pocket.
Searching his trouser pockets, officers instead found a plastic bag containing what appeared to be a large number of bullets.
They also found a single-barrel firearm in the bag, as well as a magazine and a number of rounds. There was also a bloodstained mobile phone, a blood-stained dagger and a black wallet.
Nigel Farage says it was terrorism. What political capital is he trying to make, then?No it's not. It's the act of someone seriously mentally unstable. don't try to make political capital out of it.

The effort some are putting into making this about mental health alone makes me feel ill. If Jo Cox was killed by a far-right extremist because of her views, it is an insult to her memory to attempt to blame something else. Mental health may play a part, we don't know yet because there's little evidence, so don't try and make out like it's an open and shut case purely because you're concerned it'll have an effect in the referendum.
If that were the case anyone who thinks we should leave the EU could have committed the murder, which is clearly nonsense. No sane person could have done that.It's a murder motivated by an ideology. It's terrorism plain and simple.
The only reason it's not being called that in every media outlet is because he's white and some of those media outlets share his ideology and are rather uncomfortable over it.
If that were the case anyone who thinks we should leave the EU could have committed the murder, which is clearly nonsense. No sane person could have done that.
If any other person had done it because of their political beliefs then yes it'd still be a terrorist assassination.If that were the case anyone who thinks we should leave the EU could have committed the murder, which is clearly nonsense. No sane person could have done that.
Of course it will have an effect. The Remain camp is all over it already, linking it to Farage's poster and the immigration question in general.Nigel Farage says it was terrorism. What political capital is he trying to make, then?

So what terrorist organisation is he part of? Did some organisation radicalise him?If any other person had done it because of their political beliefs then yes it'd still be a terrorist assassination.
By your logic there can never be terrorist killings, because anyone who kills is mentally ill.
In short, you're talking complete nonsense.
Do you even know what terrorism is?So what terrorist organisation is he part of? Did some organisation radicalise him?
Or maybe he is just a mentally unstable individual. As yet we don't know, but Terrorism is the "in" word so it must be that.
Of course it will have an effect. The Remain camp is all over it already, linking it to Farage's poster and the immigration question in general.
As usual, anyone who even mentions the word "immigration" is screamed down as a Right Wing nutter.

I think that question would be better addressed to the CPS. He's been charged with murder, nothing so far about any offences specific to terrorism. They could of course come later, but as things stand it's Murder under Common Law and nothing else.Do you even know what terrorism is?
What killings do you recognise as such?
Still avoided replying to the Rigby question.Ducking and weaving nicely there.
I wouldn't hold your breath on an answer to that one.Still avoided replying to the Rigby question.
Really sorry that facts are so inconvenient.Ducking and weaving nicely there.

You've failed to answer multiple questions in the last page or so.Really sorry that facts are so inconvenient.
Am I obliged to answer every post in detail? I really don't have the time to do that.Still avoided replying to the Rigby question.
Not my question to answer. Ask the CPS.Then how come every protocol of terrorism investigation is being followed to a tee?
You may have the time to answer every question and post, due to other factors I don't.You've failed to answer multiple questions in the last page or so.
Your agenda is shining through clear as day though.
I asked two questions about your personal views.Not my question to answer. Ask the CPS.
You're posting frequently enough for a person with no time to post.You may have the time to answer every question and post, due to other factors I don't.
Sorry but am I the only one who thinks her family really are emotionless and hardly showing any signs of grief in this video? Surely you wouldn't have even slept for the 2 days since and would be utterly distraught.
All I'm doing is asking for your opinion. Not even asking for detail, just a few words would do. Would you class Rigby murder as terrorism or excuse it like you're doing with this case? Simple.Am I obliged to answer every post in detail? I really don't have the time to do that.
False flag? Seriously, feck off.

Full article: http://www.independent.co.uk/voices...l-white-attackers-as-terrorists-a7088991.htmlWe hold a special status for the term “terrorist”: it appears it no longer just describes those who commit acts of terror, but those who we feel belong to a different background or culture; a different breed. These terrorists are, ultimately, opposed to “our way of life” and our so-called British values. No wonder an attacker who reportedly shouted “Britain first” appears to have escaped the label.
But by not calling the attack on Jo Cox an act of terrorism, we are subtly restricting who and what has the ability to terrify us. We shouldn't go easy on any form of terrorism, regardless of ethnic background or religious affiliation. All crimes of this nature must be treated with the same level of seriousness, and described in the same way.
You are sick in the head if you genuinely believe this is some sort of political manipulation or "false flag" as you tinfoil hatters love to call events. I'd suggest you leave the thread alone if all you have to offer are your half baked conspiracy theories and seriously suggest you seek psychiatric help.
Grief affects people differently, not to mention shock.I didn't actually mean to post that video with 'Flase flag' in the title, it was the first one when I tried to find it on youtube. I changed it to the original video now. I'm not saying its a false flag i'm saying that look cold and emotionless.
Everyone grieves in different ways, mate; hell, some people even laugh - through nervousness - at funerals.I didn't actually mean to post that video with 'Flase flag' in the title, it was the first one when I tried to find it on youtube.
