Tory MP David Amess Stabbed to Death 15/10/21

As per the precedent after Jo Cox's death, the byelection is likely to not include main party opposition.
 
I mean, obviously, it's horrific. Particularly for those innocent bystanders caught up in it who will have to live with those memories of today and what they experienced

But...this is the absolutely direct manifestation of the society designed and implemented by him and his colleagues.

We can obviously point to the casual and callous disregard for the 138,000+ who have died of Covid, including the 157 today who will receive no outpouring of outrage from Amess' colleagues.

We could point to the 50,000 - 120,000 deaths caused by the austerity policies of Amess' Party.

We could equally look at the cynical whipping up of hatred and division by Amess' Party in its pursuit of power, it's willingness to deploy rhetoric of treachery and war.

The death of one is a tragedy. The death of millions is just a statistic.

So, spare me the performative outrage, the howls of horror, the wailing, the weeping, the gnashing of teeth...this is the world he made turning on one of its masters.
 
banks are largely getting rid of screens. job centres got rid of them years back.
Turns out they were less safe somehow, in terms of what behaviours they encouraged. But then banks tend not to get people who are killing to make a point of some kind and don't care if they get caught. So it may be effective (though certainly not healthy for democracy) in the case of MPs.
 
His Wikipedia page has already been updated to refer to him in the past tense and describe his death as an assassination.
