On the Brexit Front

[Tecumsehsbones]

LONDON — A rising star in Britain’s Parliament was shot and stabbed to death Thursday in an attack that stunned the nation and brought the country’s European Union referendum campaign to an abrupt halt just a week before the vote.
The killing was of the sort that has become all too common in the United States, but is virtually unheard of in Britain: without warning, hyper-violent and ultimately, perhaps, inexplicable.
It claimed as its victim Jo Cox, a widely respected 41-year-old member of the center-left Labour Party who won election last year after a career in humanitarian work and who was widely respected for her outspoken advocacy on behalf of refugees and civilians in Syria.
Police officials in the northern English region of West Yorkshire said Cox was pronounced dead just before 2 p.m. local time, an hour after she was assaulted outside a library near the city of Leeds. A 52-year-old man was taken into custody, and police said he was the only suspect.

Gotta admit, their terrorists got better target selection than our terrorists.

The whiny Brits are going to go, you know. They think that they're victims of something.

Maybe they are ... victims of their long-term memories. It must have been the way that the Romans felt when the Visigoths were collecting the rent.

A far rightist has shot Labour MP Jo Cox apparently was heard shouting "Britain First''


Not whole lot of attention this is getting on here considering it was a right-wing extremist.

Now, if he had yelled "Allah Akbar" ...

 

[mentalfloss]

We need to declare war on the Brexiters now before it's too late.

Oh

And also



RUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!

It doesn't matter, it is outrageous in any case.

Absolutely awful.

It is a democracy, ladies and gentlemen, and as long as it stays that way, shooting politicians you disagree with is simply not on.

A lady with two young children.

Awful.

As well, and I don't mean to detract from the personal tragedy that befell her and her family, the simple fact is this event may influence the vote, and do serious harm to the campaign to save Great Britain from sinking with the rest of Europe.

Merge please.

You see!

This PROVES gun control is useless.

Democracy? Nonsense. Capitalism is the dictatorship of the wealthy, there is no compatibility with democracy and capitalism.

Conveniently, you forget to mention that capitalism has made more people rich and free than any other system, and that capitalism's "nemesis", (state control and Marxism) was a dismal failure, succeeding only in causing the death of 100 million people.

 

[Kreskin]

When are they gonna say 'Radical Exiters'?

 

[HarperCons]

There's tons of poverty in the world, who is getting richer besides the already rich?

People died in the fight for Marxist ideals, because capitalists who found it a threat to their existence killed them. One example : Operation Condor.

People died under communism because it is the absolute antithesis of what is natural in human kind.........and had to be forced on the people.

The two greatewst mass murderers in history were both communists; Mao Tse-Tung, who killed between 50 and 70 million of his own people, and Joseph Stalin, who killed somewhere around 20 million.

Read a little history

He probably yelled 'Britons first' but it sounded like 'Britain first.' It would make more sense given how it was a Briton he'd shot first (and we hope last). Had he yelled 'Britain first,' why would he then have shot a Briton?

 

[mentalfloss]

He was sniffing a little too much of the grey poupon.

At least you used a less ridiculous number. I've seen numbers triple the Russian population. You're wrong anyways, you're doing nothing but parroting the bourgeoisie narrative.. Capitalists killed and tortured more innocent leftists , that's a true fact.

Oh! I'm sorry! I didn't realize that it was a "true fact"! I'll be ever more careful from now on.

You know, like I'll ignore everything I've learned in a lifetime of studying history, because some pissant with an IQ roughly the same as his shoe size tells me about a "true fact".

Go away, dumbass.

lol lifetime of studying bourgeoisie history, great job. you've been fed bull**** your entire life and lapped it up unthinkingly. did you even know about operation condor?

Socialism wastes my tax dollars. To take but one small example:

I pay tax to the CBC yet watch mostly Chinese programmes online except for the odd news article for which there exist plenty of private sector alternatives to the CBC. So even when we subsidize the CBC in English and French, we end up watching unsubsidised private-sector programmes in Chinese anyway. What's the point? Like much other socialism, it's about one group trying to get every other group to subsidize it.
