Female Mp’s gave danger warnings to parliament that women MP’s can be killed if security was not stepped up. The revelation made in the Daily Telegraph states that a number of MP’s warned about the dangers facing female MP’s.
The news comes following reports that murdered MP, Joe Cox, complained to friends about increasing aggression and hostility. David Cameron was also reportedly briefed about the threat, which he noted and scheduled for Parliamentary discussion.
Committed and well loved Joe Cox, was shot twice, once in the face, then subsequently stabbed, and kicked, in an attacked that shocked the nation, and spread abroad. Exactly why strong security was not put in place must now form the basis of an inquiry into this horrific murder by Tommy Maire- a man with previous history of mental health. He shouted”Britain First”, before executing his brutal and senseless attack on a promising parliamentarian, who was campaigning to remain in the EU.
Opinion polls have generally been showing a trend that Brits in favor of leaving the EU, are outnumbering those in favor of staying. But the campaigning is not finished yet and was still in the building process, one week before voting day.The danger warnings given by female Mp’s suggesting the increasing threats directed at women, is a sad revelation, and very scary reality. Serious punishment must be handed out to any individuals caught behaving in any way threatening or bullish, whilst Britain faces it’s most serious decision in its political history. The murder has put a sour taste in the entire campaign, and highlights the extent to which this campaign has caught the attention of various groups. The’Britain First’ group have firmly distanced themselves from the barbaric attack, but the evil killer was shouting their name and representing their course at the time of his wicked act.
Investigations are continuing by the police to establish if he belonged to any political group, but nothing has yet come up to suggest this. He may truly have been a loner in his act,but the fact alarm bells were made before this terrible murder, raises serious questions. Tests of the killer’s mental health has so far showed him to seem normal, but his past history is a worrying to the core. Someone could well have put him up to it, but he would have to have had evil thoughts in his head anyway, to do something like this. All campaigning has stopped until Sunday at the earliest, to pay respect to a hardworking, and likable MP who had so much more to give.
