Update: 52-year-old man arrested after Labour MP Jo Cox was shot in street outside her constituency surgery has been named as Tommy Mair. A brief public data history search reveals that Mair had psychological problems:
Thomas Mair, 46, started volunteering at the park after learning about the opportunity through the Mirfield-based Pathways Day Centre for adults with mental health problems. He said: "I can honestly say it has done me more good than all the psychotherapy and medication in the world. "Many people who suffer from mental illness are socially isolated and disconnected from society, feelings of worthlessness are also common mainly caused by long-term unemployment.
"All these problems are alleviated by doing voluntary work. Getting out of the house and meeting new people is a good thing, but more important in my view is doing physically demanding and useful labour.
"When you have finished there is a feeling of achievement which is emotionally rewarding and psychologically fulfilling.
"For people for whom full-time, paid employment is not possible for a variety of reasons, voluntary work offers a socially positive and therapeutic alternative."

Update: Responding to unconfirmed allegations the shooter shouted "Britain First!" before the incident, the group Britain First has said:
A single eyewitness also claimed (unconfirmed) that the assailant “apparently” shouted “Britain First” during the attack, but this is pure hearsay at the moment.

There is LOTS of use of words such as “apparently” and “allegedly”.
That hasn’t stopped the media publishing multiple articles condemning Britain First for somehow being involved.
Britain First obviously is NOT involved and would never encourage behaviour of this sort.
As an MP and and a mother, we pray that Jo Cox makes a full recovery.

Update: As BBG adds, campaigning was suspended in Britain’s European Union membership referendum after news of the attack, which happened just before 1 p.m., came out.

Update: Here is a photo of Jo Cox' assailant getting arrested. As SkyNews adds, "West Yorkshire Police said a 52-year-old man was arrested in connection with the attack, which happened near the town's library. Witness Hichem Ben Abdallah said a man "was kicking her as she was lying on the floor." He said that after a bystander intervened, the attacker produced a gun, stepped back and shot her twice."
Those that shout “Allah akbur” , not so much.
Lots of guns - rifles, mostly - in Britain.
Each must be licensed.
interesting. People need to wake up to these false flags. It’s so obvious what they are doing.
Prayers up.
There are reports the gun is either homemade or an antique.
Thanks for your insight.
Oh, I know. That is why I said the actor.
That was my thought. A attempt to paint the BRExit crowd as violent extremists.
Yeeeee-owww... that's the sound your first comment made as it zoomed right over my head. Lolz
They sure do scrutinize eyewitness if an assailant shouts “Allah Akbur!”
My god what an out and out lie.
Thanks for that historical reminder.
Someone posted (on another thread about this MP) that the tactic in Spain, just before elections, worked. Shut down the opposition.
They suspended it because the Brexit side was winning. And the British establishment and financial institutions which own them don't want it to happen.
Using this logic, immigration should have been halted IMMEDIATELY after the first migrant/invader attacked someone....Press on, LOUDER HARDER AND FASTER, you remaining non-cuckolded Brits!
I have little doubt that the Brit "powers that be" wanted any excuse to avoid BRexit
I normally am very leery of claims of “False Flag” as to explain why things happen...
It’s getting very hard not to put two and two together...
"We certainly condemn a mental case for shooting a member of Parliament. But as patriots, we are not willing to abandon our loyalty to home & country. Of course, we have a duty to put Britain First--the actions of a mental case do not change our duty."
Eyewitness Clarke Rothwell who heard the nutter say it before and after the crime is not to be believed. A guy in Dallas has the real scoop.
There are reports the gun is either homemade or an antique.
Ban homes!!
