For weeks it seemed otherwise and I just could not understand why any educated person would align with the immigrant bashing and nativist OUTs.

Part of our far-from-perfect democracy - a big part - is the availability of access to our M.P.s in local surgeries, etc. We can even stop them on the street to complain about pot-holes in the road, when their heads are full of far bigger issues. It would be such a shame if that has to come to an end.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-637124416696142442016-06-17T01:20:07.810-07:002016-06-17T01:20:07.810-07:00In her previous job, she did all she could for ref...In her previous job, she did all she could for refugees from Syria, I have just learned. This is probably why the madman who killed her was shouting, 'Put Britain first'.<br /><br />I know that the bureaucrats in Brussels are a pain in the arse, but to vote 'out' now would just be playing into the hands of some of the most despicable far-right we have living under the lino, not just here but all over Europe. Even Trump has advocated 'out'.<br /><br />The 'out' campaign has focussed on immigration above all else, but the problem which Jo Cox was trying to deal with when she worked in a charity will not go away just because we pull up an imaginary drawbridge.<br /><br />Politicians on the news this morning are urging people not to equate Jo Cox's murder with the EU debate by blogging about it etc, but how can you separate it? The madman has put a focus on it, and if anything good should come out of this ghastly thing, then it must be a general unification of intent, and not just fragmented concerns to do with single issues and personal interests.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-88918515021974036492016-06-17T00:13:41.789-07:002016-06-17T00:13:41.789-07:00Yes.Yes.libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552884005601003691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-18404134623429767682016-06-16T20:54:29.686-07:002016-06-16T20:54:29.686-07:00I've already voted 'IN', but I would a...I've already voted 'IN', but I would again in her memory.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-39519339260868525172016-06-16T20:16:16.540-07:002016-06-16T20:16:16.540-07:00For her and for all young people I'll be votin...For her and for all young people I'll be voting in now.Rachel Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053924416805878169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-57854398798027444082016-06-16T15:19:03.295-07:002016-06-16T15:19:03.295-07:00Me too ...... at the moment, I'm an inny !!
