No, wrong. This is the only eyewitness that matters:
This is from the UK Daily Telegraph, the most right-wing broadsheet in the country.
“
Clarke Rothwell said that, as the man stabbed Mrs Cox, he shouted: “Britain First, Britain First, Britain First.”
He said: “Three times she was shot, the initial time which then she dropped to the floor and two more times.
“The third time he got close proximity he shot her round the head area.”
He added: “In the meantime he was stabbing her as well, he was stabbing her with his knife.”
Mr Rothwell said there was blood everywhere at the scene.
Asked if he thought Ms Cox had intervened in a dispute he said he understood the altercation was “always between the guy carrying the gun and the lady that got shot”.
Mr Rothwell added: “He was stabbing her with a footlong knife multiple times while shouting Britain First, Britain First, Britain First.”
It is horrible.
My thoughts are with her family and children.
As for politics.
Well, the Norwegian Brevik committed his mass murder just before elections in Norway.
It certainly gave the left a huge bump.
It’s horrible all around :(
And, on further questioning, the man in question turns out to have been blocks away at the time.
Even the Remain MP’s have retracted the ‘britain first’ claim.
Another witness:
Graeme Howard, 38, who lives in nearby Bond Street, told the Guardian he heard the man shout “Britain First” before the shooting and during the arrest.
Police were understood to be talking to at least one witness who claimed to have heard the attacker shout words about the rightwing group, and the motivation for the incident will form part of their inquiry.
“I heard the shot and I ran outside and saw some ladies from the cafe running out with towels,” he said. “There was loads of screaming and shouting and the police officers showed up.
“He was shouting Britain First when he was doing it and being arrested. He was pinned down by two police officers and she was taken away in an ambulance.”
