Jo Cox was 41 and was from the Labour Party.

RIP

This is absolutely shocking and horrific. Never thought something like this could happen to a member of parliament here.

One of the great things about British democracy is that MPs hold weekly surgeries in their constituency to give people an opportunity to meet them and discuss matters of concern. But this is the risk you take whereby anybody can just wander in and see their MP and do something totally horrible.

They haven’t yet disclosed the identity of the attacker or his motives.

She has been out campaigning to keep Britain in the EU and the attacker apparently was against it. The EU referendum is on the 23rd of June.

Jo is the first British lawmaker to be. killed in office since Conservative MP Ian Gow was assassinated by the IRA in 1990.

Despite what he said and what his political leanings are he is not terrorist because he is not a muslim, he is white so he is mentally disturbed.

The bigots of Brexit are now reaping what they were stuffing down the necks of the people.
