Councillor Resigns After 'Good Riddance' Kirk Post
BBC ^ | 9/11/25

Posted on 09/11/2025 5:38:29 PM PDT by nickcarraway

A Lancashire councillor who posted that the assassination of right-wing US political activist Charlie Kirk was "good riddance" has resigned. Fiona Wild, who represented Lanehead ward as an independent on Burnley Council, has since deleted the post which also said the "not... very nice man made himself a target and brought this on himself".

Kirk was one of America's most high-profile conservative media personalities and a trusted ally of President Donald Trump. The 31-year-old was shot at a college in Utah on Wednesday. Burnley Council confirmed Wild's resignation, said it "does not condone the comments" and confirmed it was investigating complaints.

The leader of Burnley Council's Conservative group, Councillor Jamie McGowan, had demanded Wild's resignation. "It's such a disgusting thing to say, which shows a nasty side I didn't know she had," said McGowan. The comment has sparked outrage with many residents calling out her lack of humanity."\

In her little tiny world your supposed to never ever speak truth to lies. You’re supposed to live by the rubbish and lies of the intolerant, ignorant and pig-headed vermin left.

Shows a lot of people in the UK are not happy with the Nazi turn of their government
The gubmint has defined hate speech as anything they don’t like
Even if you do it beyond their borders
The next world war will be between the US and Europe, if the muslims don’t wipe them out first

I have a friend who went to Europe near the end of the first Trump administration. She said all everyone she met there wanted to talk with her about was American politics - especially Trump.

They pay more attention than we may think.

A very moving quote from council leader Jamie McGowan:

“I think what Councillor Fiona Wild forgets is that two small children have woken up without their daddy this morning, because of nothing more than his political beliefs.”

What is remarkable is how many people are being fired for their Charlie Kirk posts.

Usually we don’t see that.

Saw this about the hand signals. Charle’s team may have seen the sniper

Daily mail has up an article on it but I can’t access it.

First of all, Charlie was shot in the chest, and the bullet ricocheted off his body armor and into his neck. go watch the video on this guy‘s page. Second, the guy in the black has been with Charlie for years,he is his bodyguard. He’s at every event Charlie does. As for the other guys don’t know, but being inside the fenced off area, those guys are definitely with Charlie. Those aren’t some deep state operative bullshit Jason Bourne hitman that you guys think pulled this off. This was done by a relatively organized group of communis LIBTARDS!

Maybe they can use their free time to protest against their government for less freedom.

This bow-wow Austin Powers clone is guilty, guilty, guilty. Woof.

The odd thing is that Charlie Kirk is a happy warrior. He's not mean. He doesn't name call.
He tries to reason with others. I can't think of gentler advocate than Charlie Kirk.
