It’s his attempt at diverting away from the murder of a pro remain MP. It’s a shame he’s joined the Tommy Robinson/Farage club.

What I don't get is why he wants to talk about MPs killed by the IRA when Farage is rubbing shoulders with IRA sympathisers in the Brexit party.

I’m fascinated neither of you can answer a very simple question - especially as you think the murder of Jo Cox was seemingly the only politically motivated assassination recent times

You seem to be squirming

Nobody thinks that. What do I have to squirm about? I don't support a party that contains IRA sympathisers.

You seem very reluctant to address the question

You also have raised the issue of the murder of Jo Cox as a political act

Out of interest would you have had a problem with say Jacob Rees Mogg inviting the political group that the person who was claimed to have murdered her been invited by him to the House of Commons 2 weeks later for a chat?

Wow, you seem to be really wound up tonight, like you're looking for an argument.
Can't imagine what could be pissing you off so much.

Afraid of a man who has never actually managed to become an MP? All it will do is split the leave vote, which is a positive.

I’m absolutely fine, thank you, currently watching the go down and around 26c still.
Just pointing out that those so angry about milkshake didn’t seem to be so upset about someone actually being shot and murdered, which is pretty fucking warped.

I’m asking if the statement I have said is reasonable

Let’s develop this further - lets say whoever is the new Prime Minister had been arrested in the past for protesting outside the trial of Thomas Maer - would you raise that as an issue

No it isn’t because you frequently quote the murder of an MP as if this is isolated and symptomatic of a certain movement. Labour have grown membership directly as a consequence of a leader who has avidly supported a political party that murders British MPs so why constantly mention only one victim?

It’s not oh dear it’s a deflection as you are squirming.

Why mention her murder at all? It’s not unique is it?

I assume you have no problem with this women anyway do you? These murders are ok aren’t they?

I’m not squirming at all and of course I have a problem with murders of innocent people.

You’re the one voting for a party with candidates who have openly expressed support of the IRA after spending so long going on about Corbyn. You’d have to be a hypocrite to vote for them.

In that case, why have a whole thread full of anger about Farage having a milkshake thrown over him, it’s hardly unique, is it?

As I said, it’s a deep shame that you’ve joined the Tommy Robinson and Farage fan club based on a single issue.

I don't think it's so much about farage. It's more "anti-brexit" hipsters think throwing milkshakes at people is cool. So naturally, they throw one at an OAP who just happened to have a ribbon on his chest.

I'm sure Tommy and Farage don't actually care, but the OAP is just a normal guy with his opinion.

As stated, in today's society, it won't be long until its acid being thrown. Acid attacks are incredibly common, I'm sure you wouldn't want Farage or anyone you don't agree with politically have acid thrown at them? I hate Corbyn and Abbott as politicians, but I would never want them physically hurt.

This isn’t a general election it’s a protest vote

In the end anyone voting labour cannot condemn the murder of Jo Cox if they believe the murder was a politically motivated act

They will accept it’s a part of a cause and justified

Very good. Godzilla was also going to tear down London and the sky would fall if we voted Leave.

The pound was also going to plummet and we will all be stranded here on the British Isles, as Europe wouldn't want us to travel to their countries even though they rely on tourism.

Obviously there's nut jobs on both sides, the freaks that dress in blue and paint yellow stars all over themselves rather than being at work. Likewise, people who voted Brexit due to "too many brown faces".

Brexit can work if we didn't have this one foot in, one foot out attitude and we had a strong government to tell the EU to fuck off.

Unfortunately, David Cameron left us in a right mess with his arrogance towards people outside of London and what they thought.

Of course not, acid attacks are abhorrent and beyond abhorrent.

Hardly. It was about 1.4, its now just under 1.3, higher than in 2009.

The banking crisis fucked the exchange up well before Brexit. I went to USA in 2007 and got nearly 2 dollars to the pound, before Brexit, it was around 1.4.

Also, the uncertainty caused by dragging of heels is preventing recover of currencies. If we just got on with it, we could be in recovery stage by now. Even some remainers would rather see Brexit completed just so uncertainty is removed quicker.

I meant London is the only city taken seriously. What londoners say is more important than the rest of the country.

David Cameron should have had an exit plan for us, before putting the vote to the people. But his arrogance on a remain win was a massive mistake, then he ran away, the rat.

I'll give you that, my mistake, I was chopping between tabs on my phone. But the point still stands, the banking crisis lowered exchange rates more than Brexit has.
