Brendan Cox Interview may rebound on Remain

This behaviour appears ghoulish to me Ron but the BBC have bought into it and are selling it for all it is worth one day before the vote,cynical or despicable ?

Odious thread

I agree that it is a difficult issue crags but surely most of us would grieve in our own space instead of taking up a political agenda at such a rotten moment in time ?

crags, I know what you are saying, but her husband spoke as if the political agenda was more important than her life ,He was so dispassionate it beggared belief.

I've read the thread through and can't see anything odious in it.
Tis the husband who's started the debate.

Have you had a few quid on leave? You've done your dosh, you sad ****

Mr. Cox is a very brave and honorable man, and he and his children have my very best wishes at this awful time.


Hopefully this thread will be deleted.

That's big of you crags. I think moral high ground jumpers are sad tbh.

crags no one will disagree with that sentiment, history will claim her husband right or wrong. It's a terrible condemnation on our world that we should even be discussing this on this forum., Mea Culpa, so are you.

crags,I fully agree with your sentiments but this should not be used as a campaign tool. It is grotesque to seek advantage this way in one of the most important elections this country has had in 50 years.

I watched the interview. I realise it was more than likely heavily edited but still it made me feel deeply uncomfortable that a man who'd just lost the love of his life was prepared to do an interview before she's even been buried, and that most of his words were about politics.

I watched him on Paris Direct last night and he is an odd fish indeed.

agree with platini

to use any dead peoples name for political gain is despicable

Strange one OK.

I saw the interview on BBC news and found it very moving although no doubt some on here will say it was biased editing by the BBC.

utter hypocrites, if Jo Cox's killer had been an immigrant, you'd all be saying the exact opposite.

Exactly that is the problem on here anyone who does not have right leaning views is referred to as a luvie, window licker or worse of all hating your country and yet being bigoted, sexist and racist is almost like a badge of honour on here

I have never referred to anyone with left-leaning views as a luvvie or a window-licker.  I have however, as someone with right-leaning views, been labelled a bigot, sexist and racist.  Hypocrisy works both ways.

I can't even believe we're discussing this to be honest DIE LINKE, but if Jo Cox's killer had been an immigrant, the widower would hardly have been allowed to conduct a week-long media-saturated diatribe against immigration.

PokerDane on here the expressions I quoted are used on numerous threads to describe anyone not Brexit/Ukip.

Fife.  Yes, I know, sir, but the invective is just as bad in the other direction.

Although not an explicit insult, your earlier post implied that right-wing members of the forum (like me) were bigots, sexists and racists.

Who on here, specifically, holds up these prejudices as badges of honour?

Im centre not left - right but bang in the middle

I dont believe you can only be one way , both sides are fkcing pathetic

i think you took that too far there.

Labour has turned into a ponce political party.

they deny the unions, so even working class people
are scunnered with them. Lost all of Scotland with their
atrocious middle ground thinking.

Learn from Trump. He's an arse. but most people are too.

All this political correct - rubber bracelet for charity?
mincing about is toxic.

I saw an interview the other night  and I was surprised that someone who's wife had just been so brutally killed would want to go anywhere near a reporter.

Waiting a few days till after the funeral maybe but this was far too soon, so I do question his motives.

It was Mr Cox who chose to give the interview and bring politics into the conversation.

I was surprised he claimed to know (and allowed to say) the killer's motive when there has been no trial. I find the whole thing disturbing, from Cameron's tweet about missing Jo's contribution to the Remain campaign to this extraordinary interview.

obviously he,ll be just as keen to jump in front of a camera when his sexpest stories starting hitting the headlines

All falling into place nicely for the establishment. All worked well birthday to keep it in the limelight. Sounds cynical but....

Big event in Trafalgar Sq today. Brendan Cox invited Londoners to come and attend.

Has she even been buried yet??

obviously he,ll be just as keen to jump in front of a camera when his sexpest stories starting hitting the headlines

they will not be hitting the headlines

Is there a D notice Burt?

it happened a while ago and he resigned, soon as he did Save the Children closed the case.

The exploitation of Jo Cox's murder by members of the REMAIN campaign is one of the most nauseating examples of political opportunism I've ever witnessed.  Absolutely despicable.

Yeah like the other side wouldn't have made capital out of it had he been a migrant.

Right or wrong, that is absolutely no excuse at all for their behaviour.  Despicable.

WE'll never know fife. But remember two wrongs will never make a right. This bloke is obnoxious considering his wife isn't buried yet.

"The exploitation of Jo Cox's murder by members of the REMAIN campaign is one of the most nauseating examples of political opportunism I've ever witnessed.  Absolutely despicable."
Exactly. It's out control. My feelings are todays (second this week) memorials are entirely political.

That pathetic rag The Indy is currently running a ridiculous anti-leave story as apparently a plane flew over London (you may have heard of it, it's a big city) today with a Leave banner, when some part of todays memorials are going on.
In the view of Remainers, this is an outrage.

Are Leave supposed to stop campaigning the last day before the vote?

Run everything past the ****ing permanently outraged tw*ts that now infest our society?

I've just watched the event on Channel 4.

Truly bizarre. Once again, Cox said his wife was the victim of a political attack. (No clear evidence of that as yet.)

Then this 'love like Jo' bit. Seriously, WTF?

I greatly pity the poor lass to be struck down at such a young age but this response appears orchestrated and staged managed just in time for tomorrow's vote.

Not sure I've seen anything like this before.

"Not sure I've seen anything like this before."
A memorial event at the weekend when far more could attend would have been after the vote, it seems like they are desperate to keep the story bubbling pre referendum. Why have it in London, not where she's from or where she represented - not enough media there when they are busy?

Let's be clear: it's awful that a young woman and mother is dead: it's not her fault how others might be using it, and they most certainly are using it.

Just watched Channel 4 news too. Had to turn it off. Why is there another day of remembrance, the day before the vote? I can guess why. This is just blatant one sided propaganda. The irony of it all, playing the same cynical and divisive card they themselves are supposed to be encouraging us to move away from.

As for the husband. Something not quite right. Detached. I'm trying to be polite here as the man's just lost his wife in such terrible circumstances. There's another story here.

#lovelkejo,truly nauseating stage managed event.Poor lass.

I read one post on twitter saying that the publicity for this event was being managed by Alastair Campbell and Matthew Freud. Not absolutely sure myself but if that is true it just becomes more understandable and nauseating than ever.

i suppose the clincher will be if remain win,the killer gets released,
joking aside the most sickening thing ever must have been the family of dr kelly watching alastair campbell apportion blame for joe cox,s death,breathtaking in its hypocrisy

One hudnred per cent agreement with you there ftp, I really do hope Farage gets his way on this as he is probably the only character who has the guts to ensure Blair and Campbell appear at The Hauge international court for war crimes.I am sure he would enjoy payback for the smears and slurs upon him.

From the BBC:

Speakers at the Trafalgar Square event include Malala Yousafzai, who will highlight some of the causes Jo supported. Former cast members from the hit musical Les Miserables are expected to sing at the event.

A charity album of live music by bands including Coldplay and Muse will be recorded at the Glastonbury Festival this weekend and will be released in her honour.


I'm speechless.....her death was described as 'an act of terror' and the logo 'More in Common' that Jo herself used was clearly visible.

It's blatant propaganda. I think it's wonderful to see so much money raised but her death is being used (by her husband) to further the Remain vote. It's repugnant.

Should also be stated that the acts of terror carried out by 25 Muslim men on white girls in her neighbourhood is receiving no coverage at all.

C4 News is up its own a*** the last couple of years, it's just so biased and self-loving.
I can't believe I used to like it, I now despise it.

There’s something about Jo Cox that reminds me of Madeleine McCann.  Then again, there's something about Brendan Cox that reminds me of her parents.

Indeed it all seems a cross between the McCanns and the Lady Diana 'taken from us' 'nation-in-tears' time

Hashtag mourning is alive and well

Is there any truth in the Alistair Campbell rumour?

what that he,s a grade A ****

why the media fawn at the feet of this drunk is unfathomable

some of the loudmouths and no alls who cant help sticking their nose in the debate,campbell,blair,legarde,clinton ,have on thing in common,if someone had the will they,d all be sharing a cell

Very interesting article. Near the end it says that 100 men were arrested on sex charges in Halifax but only 13 convicted.

The link to White Helmets is extraordinary.

Until reading the above link I was unaware of the Batley child abuse.  Considering Sky News runs almost on a loop in my house, ignorance of such a case is incredible.  How often has it been reported in the last week?

Local BBC News I believe. Nothing on the main channels that I'm aware of.

Thirteen men sentenced to a total of 150 years for child abuse and nothing on the main channels!  Can that possibly be true?

PD - there have sadly been many similar gangs operating across the UK. The press have often sought to play down these horrific crimes.

They are nearly always comitted by men of Pakistani background against white girls. Yet the police, press and government are quick to refute any suggestion of racism or that it's linked to Islam.

Re the Go Fund link for Jo Cox, I see Hope not Hate is also listed. HNH are a left wing opponent of UKIP and therefore support the Remain campaign.

This whole episode stinks.

Injera - yes Hope Not Hate are one of the 3 recipients of the money raised, people are donating and it will be used to pay their members fines from violent protests

PokerDane - the abuse story was the headline on the morning edition of Batley News the day the mp was murdered. By the afternoon it had naturally been replaced with her murder, however the story had totally VANISHED, it was not even showing up in their list of archived stories. Strange?

Thank you for the link and thoughts, Injera, PD & BB.

Here's another ...

Jo Fox’s Husband Resigned After Complaints of ‘Inappropriate Behaviour’

Based on his performances recently, how upset do we think Mr Cox is this Friday compared to last Friday?
