Yep, all just humbug. 

Just another Donald Trump. How far we’ve fallen. 

Utterly depressing. 

I'm just very sad that the death of Jo Cox has used in this way.

I watched the entire proceedings on the BBC. I wanted to see, in real time, how the debate panned out and not edited sound bites. Clearly Paula Sheriff, who I use to work alongside as a trade union steward, was very agitated. There were some very heated exchanges and the PM consistently avoided answering reasonable questions. Suggesting that Jo Cox's memory could be honoured by getting Brexit done is hugely offensive. 

Glad to hear Brendan Cox conciliatory interview on Radio 5 this morning.

Jess Phillips, who threatened Corbyn "I won't knife you in the back, I'll knife you in the front"?! 

Ill-advised perhaps but clearly metaphorical, unlike much of the current rhetoric.

Rumblings that "surrender" in particular being protected by the government as will feature heavily in GE campaign after "cutting through" in focus groups. If so this isn't careless language it's incitement.

I don't think Boris (and him not anyone else) really wants to be "found dead in a ditch".

So you're OK lumping in a metaphorical bit of speak with some random bloke banging on the office windows of a politician, who are so fearful (her staff, I believe Jess wasn't there) they need to lock themselves in?

Now I see why we're in the mess we're in. 

Eh?  Isn't that what the article you posted is doing?

Are you sure?!

And no one objects to him saying that. 

The difference is the govt have repeatedly talked up the threat of violence by disaffected Brexiters and used it as a reason as to why "Brexit must be delivered". On the other hand it has been able to ignore all displays of Remainer disaffection (including demonstrations nearly a thousand times larger than any brexit demo) because it doesn't come with the associated malevolence 

No one goes to Brexit demos because we are being repeatedly told we will Brexit. If things change in a GE or second referendum I would expect leave demos every bit as big as the current remain ones and the remain demos to drop drastically in size. 

Who knows but that wasn't my point. My point was that the govt are constantly playing up the fact that violence from Brexiters is a very real danger so either they believe this and need to stop the incitement or they need to wind back on the rhetoric and accept the fact that the strength of feeling is as great on both sides. 

certainly shows that we are to conclude from the Appease.gov.uk stance that violence or the threat of it pays off!  

Meanwhile The "leader" of the House calls us all Remoaners.   Bastard
