Here's a good comment made today in the comments section of an article on today's Spectator website about the EU referendum campaign being temporaril;y halted after Jo Cox's murder:

I don't remember the country ceasing any important activity when Lee Rigby was murdered by a mentally unstable man, but then he was only a soldier willing to defend his country, not a left-wing politician who actively campaigned for the demographic destruction of it. If this very sad, but wholly unrelated event to Brexit influences the vote on Thursday in favour of the establishment campaign for Remain, then we will have bequeathed a totalitarian future to our children instead of the democracy we inherited from our forbears, who made enormous personal and collective sacrifices in order to be able to pass on such a wonderful gift to us.
I'm just wondering if I saw correctly last night on TV.
That they were piling flowers in her memory on the local war memorial.
I was shocked.
Shocked that they had so little compassion or feeling for her memory, were so lacking in understanding of all she has worked for - for twenty years.
Not a tribute to her - but an insult.
Why ever are they choosing to do it?
After all we are told that the poor woman was brutally killed for opposing all that war memorial represents.
That war memorial represents the service people who laid down their very lives for a free Britain and the continuation of British sovereignty and independence.
Something she absolutely abhored, never mind opposed.
They died for us to be self governing.
She was ardently in favour of Brussels domination and unelected dicatorship.
They died fighting the Third Reich.
She supported the Fourth.
It has to be an affront to her work and memory to put her flowers on that war memorial - if they are.
I imagine the war dead are not much impressed either.
It is not actually a war memorial where the flowers have been laid in Birstall. It is actually a statue to Joseph Priestley, the man who discovered oxygen, who was born in Birstall in 1733.
However, Emily is quite right to say that Remain campaigners like Cox are traitors to their country. Whilst millions of young men in two world wars died for Britain to be a free, self-governing nation state - to not be ruled by foreigners in Europe - the likes of Cox (who seemed more concerned with Syrians than with her own constituents) and Cameron take the opposite view and don't want to Britain to be a self-governing, sovereign nation state. Remain campaigners are traitors to Britain.
