This was coming mind, all the hate speech all the blame games, both sides need to tone it down a bit

Awful news I hope he’s okay

I would hope that irrespective of your viewpoints that nobody politicizes this or makes any kind of demeaning comment because he's a Conservative.

It is absolutely heinous crime to publicly stab an MP, as it was with Joe Cox. Mr Amess is an elderly man 69 years of age and it is truly disturbing, mindless and sickening that someone could be motivated to do this.

Cowardly. Imagine being so soft that you have to use a knife to attack a 69 year old bloke.

 

[Frijj]

Fuck

Hopefully he pulls through like must be a horrible thing to experience being stabbed like, a very personal and cold attack.

would this be politically motivated did he hold any extreme views?

I think it's probably best to wait until the story comes out from the police before speculating about motives etc. Fingers crossed he's ok

This. We've become far too polarized

Can't say that I know much about him but even for the most hated MP, what kind of nutter stabs an MP?

 

[Alcoholic_Author]

Stabbed in a Church man, unreal time we’re in.

 

[Gucci Massive]

Awful that. Hope he pulls through.

Says he was treated at the scene so hopefully can’t be seriously hurt if he wasn’t rushed to hospital?
