WTF???

Saw this on Twitter earlier, and just goes to show there are some fucked up people in this world. You can disagree vehemently with someone else by all means, but violence is never the answer.

Hope she recovers - shot three times and stabbed doesn't sound good.

Hope she recovers, thoughts with her family.

Yep, it's pretty awful.

Of course, I've already had the Americans on my FB feed - "See? Told you gun restrictions don't work!". I couldn't even summon the energy to explain it, so I just unfriended them. It's surprising how effective that is.

Wow,that's horrible.Hope she pulls through.

How idiotic and insensitive (not you, the Americans).

It has been reported that the gunman shouted 'Britain First' but it is unconfirmed at the moment.

Fuck, as much as we can disagree With a weapons politics this is ducked up.

Safe recovery and all the best.

Very sad news

UnclePsychosis

Horrible news. From the description of the attack on the BBC it sadly did seem likely that she would not survive.

Nobody should ever be assaulted like this, for any reason.

Nitefly

Oh no - don't know what to say.

Thoughts with her loved ones, of course, but seems inadequate.

octatonic

That is awful.

This happened not too far from my work and round the corner from one of where my colleagues lives.

Tragic. She was not only a politician, but a mother too.

Fretwired

So sad that someone dies doing their job and campaigning for what they believed in .. shocking.

Heartbreaking

I can't imagine what the family are going through, and I could never imagine my other half not coming home one day, especially in these circumstances
