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."
That is insane.
Wasn’t that the terrible terror attack on the train station? Problem was that the PM lied about the attack and tried to pin it on the Basques, when it was obvious that it was Islamic terrorists. He lost and Spain pulled out of Iraq.
(Maybe it was another incident that I don’t remember.)
Tragic. But eyebrow-raising. Really, a BREXIT supporter would kill over this? No......not buying the official story!!!
My thoughts exactly. Wow. The lengths to which the left will go, killing one of their own....
Using Obama’s muslim logic, maybe she shouldn’t have provoked him, no?
truth is starting to come out. Eyewitness said he didn’t hear anything such as “Britian First”. Tweets being deleted, etc. guess we will see
Anybody know the race of the killer?
Of course they would. The Britain First campaign is framing this as a question of racial survival. It’s visceral and terrifying to someone who’s barely sane to begin with.
Labour MP Jo Cox has died after being shot three times in the street near her office by an attacker ‘who shouted Britain First then kicked her while she lay bleeding’
He should have yelled, “Allahu Akbar!” and he would have become untouchable.
Strange that people might actually react against having their country destroyed and their lives endangered.....
Oh please.

As it turns out, from the UK media, the ‘eyewitness’ was 2 blocks away from the event and heard about it from someone else.
Yes and not a very veiled one either.
It’s gotten to the point that it is obvious that there are handlers to certain insane people. These handlers provide firearms, and assign tasks and targets. The Globalists are not boy scouts, and they don’t mind a few bodies to achieve their aims.
Im watching an eyewitness report saying he didn’t hear anything about Britain first..”never heard that”
Do they have ranks of these patsy losers standing around in warehouses like I, Robot?
>Because he is insane, obviously! There are plenty of insane people who get triggered by politics and fear. In case you hadn’t noticed.
The left has been using insane people as false flag assassins for a long time now.
And to think, there was a time I would have thought you were nuts for saying that. Geez, how times have changed!
