[Peter Pedant]

terrorism cops have been brought in

[anneasquith]

Point proven at 20.38pm.

anneasquith, nobody here can score political points since nothing anybody says here is going to persuade anybody else here to do anything different at all, ever, especially when it comes to political allegiance. If you want to see an attempt at political capital being made from this, try watching the news at ten ...

The plain fact is that any elected MP, given their role, would be wrong to describe any fellow elected MP as "scum", and today's events demonstrate why.

[grumpy01]

Perhaps now the government will get off their backside and do something about knives instead of just paying lip service too it.

Ooops, the weekend over zealous pious AB drunk on power mod has started to zap posts I see, so I’ll try again ( probably fruitlessly).

Anneasquith, as per you have demonstrated you are hard of thinking, so I’m genuinely interested what you think of the disgusting Rayner’s view that all Tories are scum?

[Googlewerenohelp]

Despite the fact that he was a) a Conservative MP and b) a proponent of the death penalty, both of which go against my beliefs, he did not deserve this and I hope the b*s*t*r* that did this gets locked up.
Shocking news.

Peter Pedant "chrissakes, he's DEAD"
At the time I posted that, his death wasn't announced and I was being optimistic.
Hold your horses.

[Googlewerenohelp]

...as Naomi also pointed out.
Is that an apology I hear?

[Googlewerenohelp]

(apparently not)

[Peter Pedant]

I am open to suggestion
but I dont think a 25 y old Somali is a great reader or fan of Angela Raymer

[Mamyalynne]

Give him a chance - Peter has sight issues and may have misread the timings of posts and jumped in too quick.

[Peter Pedant]

I apologise for saying he;s dead when he was
( jesus)
I dont believe there is something wrong with AB - I KNOW it ( thx to Naomi)

[Mamyalynne]

Sorry Peter, didn't know whether you had seen that post.

[Smowball]

Absolutely tragic, he was only at his daughters wedding a few weeks ago : (

[Mozz71]

Ellipsis, I don't think anybody is denying that Rayner was put of order, and my view is that she should've been made an example of. All the discussion here is of whether her words influenced this attack, and given it looks like this may well be a terrorist incident, clearly they were not.

As for scoring political points, I guess you must be new to AB, and have never read any post in the news section before. :-P

[Googlewerenohelp]

It's ok Peter, I think you just jumped the gun a bit, his death was announced AFTER I made my comment, I was hoping that his injuries were superficial. BTW, I have autism.

Mamyalynne, //Give him a chance - Peter has sight issues and may have misread the timings of posts and jumped in too quick. //

Or maybe not. PP has issues but whether sight is one of them is a matter of conjecture. He doesn't seem to do too badly.

[Patsy33]

So upsetting..
Terrible for his family.
Poor man.

[Peter Pedant]

There;'s a dead MP and we are talking about my sight?
oh god it must be AB on a friday night
