Current Affairs The Conservative Party

[Del-boy]

Whatever your political viewpoint I’m sure we can all agree this is shocking. The man was serving his community by running a no appointment needed surgery.

Absolutely terrible, but not surprising when you consider some of rhetoric we hear being used nowadays. Unfortunately, we have individuals in our society who take things literally beyond words. This shouldn’t happen to anybody.

Very true unfortunately, and with that in mind I'll update this thread title.

Correct decision. Well done.

The Sky News coverage is nauseating.
They love stories like this.

Hope the fella is ok.

Sky are a frigging disgrace.

Given his voting record and his views you'll forgive me for not shedding too many tears tonight and neither should anyone else.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Awful that he's died but this is the culture we live in now with violent rhetoric, where everything is classed as a 'war'. Vaccines, Politics, education.....etc. Terms get thrown around to whip people up and then you get the likes of this.

Instead of politicians, journalists and the like taking a look at themselves and their behaviour, they will double down to point score.

See Angela Reyner is already getting the blame. What a convinient excuse

Who's doing that?

This is a great example of the kind of low-key vilification that enables the threats, violence and murder of politicians of all colours seem okay to the politically and mentally deranged.

Normally I'd agree however this bloke voted in favour of making life harder for the most marginalised in society and that's why I'm not shedding any tears.

 

[The binman chronicles]

Absolutely sickening that there are people out there that will do this to another person. I don't like the Tories but wouldn't wish this on anyone, you get up in the morning to do a job and you don't come back because of it.

 

[Gwladysstreetlad]

As a society we all need to think long and hard about how we all talk to and about each other, especially those we disagree with and/or dislike. The rhetoric on all sides is absolutely disgusting at times

I doubt anybody - least of all his family, friends and colleagues - give a damn whether you shed any tears. I certainly don't.

However, I do have a problem with you implying that you’re some kind of moral arbiter by declaring that others shouldn't mourn his loss, all because you happen to disagree with his politics.

Don't care what sort of voting he did.
No person deserves to be stabbed to death at their place of work
(or anywhere indeed)
