A cafe owner who saw the attack on West Yorkshire MP Jo Cox described the situation he witnessed as being "like a warzone".

Ben Abdullah's business is next to the Birstall library where the 41-year-old held a surgery on Thursday.

Warning: This BBC Radio Leeds interview contains some graphic descriptions of the scene of the attack.

I don’t like anybody to die, but what should the response be to an MP that is willing to vote his own country into slavery?

[pgkdan]

I never believed in them before but now I’m convinced this was a false flag event calculated to turn the tide of public opinion against Brexit.

[Jonty30]

That definitely could very well be.

[Jane Long]

If so, hopefully the Brits are smart to it.

[miss marmelstein]

The British press is blaming an American ‘neo-Nazi’ website for inspiring the killer (who may have been trying to kill someone else). Leave it to the Brits to manage to get America into the pix!!!

[dfwgator]

They’ll get around to blaming Trump.

[AppyPappy]

The killer sounds like a garden variety nut.

He did spend a lot of his time gardening. His brain probably got messed up from some Monsanto chemicals or something.

[miss marmelstein]

LOL! That’s so funny - and so true.

The source for this claim is apparently American - something called the Southern Poverty Law Center, which has produced receipts for purchases by Mair from something called ‘National Alliance’.

[Buckeye McFrog]

The entire world blames us for EVERYTHING.
You should be used to it by now.

[Jonty30]

You’re right, but the principle is the same.

[miss marmelstein]

LOL! Always America’s fault, Winnie!

[miss marmelstein]

I just love the new lows, though!

[stevio]

False flag or not, I imagine the other political lackeys having second thoughts if they are expendable for the cause.

I’m convinced this was a false flag event calculated to turn the tide of public opinion against Brexit.

Stuart Varney was on Fox this morning and echoed the same sentiment. The vote will be close and leaving was slightly ahead, until this happened and now the sympathy vote is likely to swing it to staying.

One thing: The Brits are pissed off about 0bama lecturing them to stay. I'm not surprised. Everything I hear from 0bama pisses me off.

Really? Perhaps vote her out of office?
