Saw this while watching footy in the pub yesterday

Must admit, this has got me speechless at how oppsed up this world has become

A local lass who had the conviction to fight for her constituents and for what she believed in.
Regardless of what your views are on something's, the taking of her life by some bitter and twisted friggin no mark while just doing a job that she believed in is sickening to the extreme 

In years to come, I just hope that the people of Birstall, Jo's family and friends make sure that those 2 small children who will now grow up without there mum, understand and be proud of what sort of person she was.

RIP Jo

Far too young

I've noticed that this is mostly reported in the media as the 'killing' of Jo Cox rather than the 'murder'.  Is there a reason for this?  Such as it can't be called a murder until the guy is convicted of murder?

Yes there is. It's because due to the ethnicity of her murderer, our media is choosing to couch his actions as ones of a mentally disturbed individual, rather than an ideologically motivated attack. To call it murder implies intent, which doesn't fit that narrative.

Did anyone else see the video of Britain First front man (can't remember his name) claiming that you shouldn't judge the whole organisation based on the actions of one individual.

You couldn't lay the irony on any thicker if you used a shovel!

Hmmm not sure about that too be honest as it's something I've noticed before where a murder is described as a 'killing', usually on the BBC.
