took the jury an hour to decide he was guilty..............that's 59 minutes too long........they should put a bullet in his head

the jury must have had difficulty voting in a foreperson.

MPs call for Britain First to be listed as 'terrorist organisation'
 - never heard anything so ridiculous . http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/736244/MPs-call-for-Britain-First-to-be-listed-as-terrorist-organisation-after-Jo-Cox-murder |
|
By:
Ron - Britain First's leader Jim Dowson called for a "holy war on the streets of Britain".
http://www.politics.co.uk/news/2014/06/19/britain-first-the-violent-new-face-of-british-fascism Calling for violence against a particular group in society sounds pretty terrorist to me. Mair's actions were inexcusable. Killing a MP, a wife and a mother in cold blood for political reasons is an act of domestic terrorism. |
|
By:
It's an obviously biased Left Wing piece with Channel 4 in there to boot!
If the groups operated for so long wheres the evidence of violence by them, you can tell a lot about the article by this comment. "In effect, Britain First is the far-right version of al-Muhajiroun, the Islamist group led by Anjem Choudary. |
|
By:
The only violence Britain First come across is from muslims, who think it's
unacceptable to protest in largely populated muslim areas of Britain - the muslims do the assaulting which normally leads to the Police arresting Britain First activists |
|
By:
I agree Ron...it is always the so called anti fascists who start the violence
I do not think Thomas Mair is entirely sane myself. But in the world of todays terrorism, he was always going to go down. I am sorry for Joe Cox. |
|
By:
he was going down without todays terrorism
its a bit stupid trying to ban an organisation because a few nutters try to use it to cover their idiocy |
|
By:
As the lefties (including plod and MM) are always telling us: "Just a 'Lone gunman' with no links to a terrorist organisation" His real name is probably Zaroon..
|
|
By:
donny - it wasn't even clear what Mair shouted, i think there was 3 different versions
of what he shouted...ie keep Britain independent, Put Britain First etc. But the Media seem to have liked & stuck with the Britain First version. not that that in itself means he was connected to the party, A bit like someone shouting out Labour before killing - then automatically the Labour party are to blame. It suits the Government & MSM's agenda to try & link the killer to Britain First, quite sad really, similar to when some tried to use her death to promote the Remain campaign |

The media have maxed out on coverage of the trial of Jo Cox's killer because it suits their agenda. |
|
By:
ron you are pretty much spot on
the guy was a nutter |
|
By:
Well, a witness on the stand said he shouted "Britain first. This is for Britain."
I believe there's also a picture of him alongside other white men behind a Britain First banner. But no, the meeja are lying. |

By:
Well, a witness on the stand said he shouted "Britain first. This is for Britain."
Plant I believe there's also a picture of him alongside other white men behind a Britain First banner. Coincidence - he was just trying to get past |
|
By:
Yes & if you remember that picture PP.
it looked like he'd just turned up on the day / gatecrashed Why would he be in the middle of the said photo in normal clothing? Not sure what your point is PP, how many proven Britain First killers has there been in the past? |
|
By:

ron Anything to back up the "just in the wrong place at the wrong time and standing behind the wrong banner" line? Jesus, desperate much. My point is a witness under threat of perjury said he shouted "Britain First", he was also photoed behind a "Britain First" banner. Not saying they've set him up exactly but it's pretty obvious it played a part in his head to do what he did. |
|
By:
Is there even proof it was the killer in the photo?
Some links say it resembled Thomas Mair. Is this really him do you think? . http://warincontext.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/britain-first-facebook-1.jpg |

Not nice is it PP, to get a likkle bit of Mainstream Media chucked back at ye...

The Quran v Britain First
who would you say the more dangerous one was PP My point is a witness under threat of perjury said he shouted "Britain First", he was also photoed behind a "Britain First" banner. Not saying they've set him up exactly but it's pretty obvious it played a part in his head to do what he did One witness was adamant he did not shout "Britain First" |
|
By:
i think it influenced him , but not in the way they intended
he was iinto all sorts of groups not just this one by the court evidence they could ban britain first, but a new group would form and the publicity would be a godsend for them |
|
By:
Britain First are not promoting violence in anyway,
They are a patriotic party, & as they say anyone from any culture is welcome to join so they certainly are not a racist party. |

 You're going to have to explain that one I'm afraid.Ron - did that witness take to the stand and say that? Genuine q, I don't know the answer. Apart from that you're clinging on to the slim possibility that it might not be him. Jesus, really? You've started by saying the media made up that he shouted Britain First and now that's been shot down in flames you're going with the mistaken identity angle. Why so defensive? I'm not proposing that Britain First are culpable of murder. I do think they're culpable of stirring up racial hatred though they need to get in the queue there frankly and even if he wasn't a fan of them he wouldn't have had to go too far to find a sympathetic ear to his politics. Unfortunately, there are some sick, sick people out there who are capable of going much further than normal people with their fantasies and if they're susceptible to hateful ideologies or have been damaged when young then it can lead to pretty terrible actions. |
|
By:
There was 3 witness versions of what he supposedly shouted PP,
I never followed the trial but was it proven somehow that the witness that said he shouted Britain First was right & the other two were obviously mistaken in what they heard? Cases like Thomas Mair are a drop in the ocean compared to the real problem that government won't address. |
|
By:
How would you weigh the evidence of someone taking the stand and giving their evidence under oath against someone not doing the same?
I know it doesn't suit your agenda but I am giving you ample room here to not make yourself look a bigoted idiot. |
|
By:
Thomas Mair repeatedly shot and stabbed Cox in an attack during the EU referendum campaign in June. While attacking her he was saying: “This is for Britain”, “keep Britain independent”, and “Britain first”, the court heard.
& that's from the @rse wipe The Guardian |
|
By:
Not sure how PP come to the conclusion that he clearly shouted "Britain First"
Obviously didn't fit his agenda. |
|
By:
but you have an agenda too ron dont you?
|
|
By:
what agenda JW?
Only peace... |
|
By:
ha! @ jw
Fair enough ron, as I said I only asked the question. So he shouted Britain First among other things. |
|
By:
ron you know i like you but you are as thick as pig sh1t
you hate the mayor of london yet it was him who proposed mandatory standards for speaking/writing english language in the london private hire industry. he also proposes that phv drivers have hire and reward insurance. both pretty basic you would have thought but neither proposed by the tories. if a muslim terrorist launches an attack in london its 1.01 you will blame khan. |
|
By:
i actually dont think mair deserves a whole term sentence. someone like stepehn port as a sexual predator i doubt could ever be reformed but mair looks like a simpleton to me. 20/25 years in prison with guidance and my guess is he would pose no threat to the rest of society.
|
|
By:
Well it don't add up when you hear what his neighbours said about him,
helpful etc. Guess something was building up inside him. |
|
By:
i agree with that ron, something does not add up.
where did he get the gun from for one? |
|
By:
Pound shop
|
|
By:
he was unwell, he had sought help before.
he probably should be in some secure unit not prison killing an mp must attract a high tariff sentence, as with police and forces but he didnt get any sort of defence and i guess it will, in time, be appealed, not that he should be out on the street any time soon. |
|
By:
I never followed the case donny.
but i remember them mentioning mental health as a possible reason after he killed Jo. was this eliminated as a possible reason? |
