His Divine Shadow posted:Isn't cutting, blood and knives generally something you'd expect from a surgery? Lol that's fired up an extremely long-ago memory of getting into a fight (a "proper" after-school-in-the-park-with-people-shouting-fight fight) with the kid who sat next to me in primary school. The teacher asked for examples of what might happen at a GP surgery and I said "surgery" because I wasn't actually sure what the word meant, just that it was something medical, but the teacher didn't hear me. So the kid next to me shouted it out as loud as he could at the next lull and the teacher chuckled and said that wasn't what the word meant (although to this day I *still* don't know why we use the same word for "place you go to talk to someone" and "someone cutting you up") but it was a good try, and the kid reckoned I'd done it deliberately to make him look stupid. That kid is now a RtB landlord who funded his first purchases with the money he made as a Java developer in the dotcom boom.

Honestly of all the Tory MPs who deserve consequences for their actions this guy seems extremely low on the list, lovely though his views are.

I looked it up because an American was nonplussed by the term and it's apparently because you're meant to get to sit down with your MP like when you visit your GP and ask questions to diagnose your concerns. Literally analogising a visit to the doctor but with your MP.

I wonder if we'll ever find out the true motives of the person who stabbed him? If I had to guess, considering the timing, I'd put my money on someone who is becoming destitute due to the £20pw UC cut. There are a lot of very desperate and stressed people at the moment.

Quite a lot of Afghan refugees were recently settled in Southend, there was some grumbling about it apparently, and guess where the finger's already being pointed?

Gut stabbings (which is the natural "I'm holding a kitchen knife and wanting to stab someone" wound) are nasty pieces of work that will stay with you for life - but also not as immediately fatal as cuts to the neck or arteries. If he's not being reported as dead already, I'd guess the hospital will manage to save him.

I mean Bolsonaro survived something similar and lived to recreationally catch covid so I'm assuming he'll survive. Whether he'll recover is another matter.

The motive could really be anything at this point. The guy who attacked that Lib Dem MP back in the Blair years and hacked his assistant to death with a katana did it because he thought they were part of 'a conspiracy between Cheltenham council and Lloyds TSB of which he was the victim'.

there's something desperately, bleakly funny about the idea of someone getting radicalised to violence by, of all things, the deputy leader of Keir Starmer's Labour Party calling Tories "scum"
