Did not the white skin tell us this as we bought their guns, theses guns led to reservations, where they plied us with alcohol while they took our rights away.

Now that he American Government are segregating their own people but to do that they want to remove the guns - cannot think WHY.

Jeremy Corbyn MP, Leader of the Labour Party, said:

“What happened in Birstall yesterday has shocked and saddened our whole country.

“Jo Cox was an outstanding and inspiring new member of Parliament, who had already shown in her life and work her dedication to the cause of peace and social justice.

“She was brutally murdered on the streets of this village, doing the job she was elected to do, representing the people she was elected to serve, doing her duty to the public and our democracy.

“Jo Cox’s killing was not only the tragic loss of a fantastic human being, woman, mother, wife, friend and comrade to so many of us inside and outside Parliament.

“It was an assault on democracy itself, an attack on the right of everyone to have their say in how our country is run, and for those that the people elect to be able to listen to and represent them without fear or favour.

“As Jo’s husband Brendan said in his extraordinary and poignant tribute, Jo Cox was also the victim of hatred and intolerance.

“Ours is a country where tolerance and respect for other people and different viewpoints have always been highly valued.

“We must not allow those who peddle hatred, terror and division to poison and degrade our national and political life.

“Jo Cox stood for tolerance, justice, peace and human rights. If any good can come from her killing it should be for us to come together as a country and face down hatred and intolerance in our society.

“Jo’s death is a profound loss for all of us in the Labour party and wider Labour movement, but of course most of all to her close friends, family and her two young children.

“They will now grow up without their mother, but can be immensely proud of what she achieved and what she stood for. We send them, and Brendan, our deepest condolences and love. They are in the hearts of all of us.”

Note:

After the terrible death of Jo Cox, Labour MP for Batley and Spen, we’re inviting people to leave messages of condolence, support, and solidarity for Jo’s family, friends and colleagues.

Our book of condolences can be signed

This act is totally unacceptable however to me it reflects the anger at the IN/OUT campaign which some people have taken as a fact.

A moment of madness always has far reaching consequences. We now have a father who has lost his young wife, children who have lost their mother and the family of the perpetrator who cannot understand WHY he did what he did. I wonder what is happening to society and democracy in this country. Time is a healer but that is no answer, my sympathy is with you all at this sad time.

While I have never met the woman I would please ask her to stop taking the great British for fools. In my youth, while in the British Army, I found the general news on the BBC to be good, never went to bed before the late night news. Under the last Labour Government (while the government condemned the BBC) the license fee , I believe doubled and the news content was actually reduced so I turned to the BBC World Service (this was changed when the present government decided they no longer wanted to be held accountable for what was reported).

Let us not forget that it was under the Labour administration that, because of their corporation tax fiddles that the BBC paid their top people (not available to the plebs) in off shore accounts. I think the above article to be yet another electioneering half truth. Please tell the truth, especially if you want my vote!

***CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY***

Ed Miliband MP, Leader of the Labour Party, in a speech at the EEF National Manufacturing Conference in London, said:

It is great to be here with you today.

And I want to start by thanking Terry Scuoler, your CEO, for his leadership of the Engineering Employers...

While Mr Miliband sounds like the right guy (a move to the left) I must say I also thought that of Mr Blair and what a right wing disaster he turned out to be which had many Labour supporters either changing party or not voting at the last election.

Of course I like Mr Miliband's comments on keeping the NHS out of new global agreements (I believe it's called TPPT and others). That's not good enough to get me back to Labour as I want a stop to these treaties that impoverish the British working classes (excluding the thieves in the Banksters industries).

I really do not like a foreign company coming over here to use British ideas and turning them into products. This should be the roll of British companies, employing British people and paying British Taxes. You may well argue they (British companies) do not want to take the risk. I would argue that the last Labour Government of three terms (reinforced by the present right wing government), in pursuit of globalisation stacked the tax system against British companies in favour of overseas companies, making it impossible for them to compete (this argument also applies to the essential industries such as water, electric, gas, railways and buses), I remember that gobshite Prescott saying "if the energy companies do not reduce the bills then, if elected the next Labour Government would re-nationalise them". Did they. No, but energy bills went through the roof. I can only assume not a word was ever mentioned about re-nationalisation as a payment to the dodgy donors - and I DO not mean the Unions. On the same topic Mr Miliband gave the energy companies about eighteen months notice of a price freeze with the obvious massive price hikes over the interim period ( this time around no mention of re-nationalisation), I rest my case, just more of New Labour is my choice. Answer -NO.

I think for Mr Balls to be taken seriously, especially as he was in office and did nothing to stop the tax evasion when he could he needs to be out their exposing the maggots nests in our financial institutions along with Mr Miliband
