Perhaps this will spur MI5 to remember that far-right extremists are pretty dangerous even when they're white and ostensibly Christian. Perhaps they might like to consider crushing those fuckers like they did in the past.

Maybe they want to take control of the story, seeing as people are starting to connect what this guy did to the years of 'save our country' anti-immigration rhetoric that's defined mainstream UK politics for a while now, and it doesn't reflect too well on everyone who's exploited it. So yeah, talking about how sad they are is probably the plan

So now that those receipts have been pretty much confirmed by the graun, anyone have any ideas what the scribbled out last item is? It's obviously something that has been added to the order total, and it hasn't been redacted in the same way as the house number and the bottom bit (bank details?)

The only way things could get more hosed up now is if Mair was one of those clowns that went on the Britain First training thing in Wales. Also poor Hameron it if turns out Mair was a victim of cuts to mental health funding.

Biggus Dickus posted:The only way things could get more hosed up now is if Mair was one of those clowns that went on the Britain First training thing in Wales. That Britain First training thing, according to the article TinTower linked, was about defending against attackers with knives (because you're the fash, and someone's going to try to stab you at some point), and the article made no mention of improvised weaponry. They'd be able to defend against that angle of attack pretty well. It's just their policy of unending racial hatred and history of violence that might get them into trouble.

Little_wh0re posted:Why? To tell everyone how sad they are? What would they achieve? its traditional that if something like this happens - or even if a prominent MP or ex-MP dies really - that they recall parliament for tributes. They did the same when Tony Benn or Thatcher died; when John Smith died parliament was scheduled to sit but they just threw out all actual business for the day. Some could argue that this is an example of """virtue signalling""", I think that its more that this will have shaken a lot of MPs, and because they are politicians they think that this is the best way to remember her.

Guavanaut posted:So now that those receipts have been pretty much confirmed by the graun, anyone have any ideas what the scribbled out last item is? I was curious and tried searching for the old website, which is now dead for some reason, however, the internet rarely forgets Thanks Archive.org! Since it's from 2005 and not 1999 I was worried about price discrepancies, but it seems apart from the back issues of Free Speech the prices are the same (although I couldn't find Flashpoint) so if anyone has the spare time to chase down something on the site costing $4.40 that might get it. For the record you can't browse the site naturally - it was archived in tree form so if you look at pages 1 2 3 you can only browse to them from page 1, going to page 3 from page 2 brings up a "this wasn't archived!" but if you go back to page 1 and go to page 3 it'll work

I doubt that it will be a totally uncontested by-election, even if the big five parties don't stand then someone will, probably a few of the lovely parties, I also wouldn't be shocked if an independent conservative stood as well
