RIP to Jo Cox. Thoughts to her husband, children, family, friends and colleagues.

She is being described as one of the good ones, there to fight for her constituents and us all and willing to work with everyone.

The early reports are that she went to help with an altercation.

We should all learn from her. Be tolerant, be helpful and be caring.

A fellow MP said she was one of the ones they couldn't afford to lose. I thought that was a nice sentiment about what it must have been like to work with her.

How senseless is everything that can ever be written, done, or thought, when such things are possible.

It must be all lies and of no account when the culture of a thousand years could not prevent this stream of hate and anger being poured out

To strike down a maiden of honour and moral being serves no purpose save to cradle her tears and weep for her children.

Hate and anger have no place in the world of those who seek to conciliate and in the work that is good from this human race.

The futility of ignorance and injustice is there to be seen, She never turned away she listened and vowed to heal and reconcile those soiled by anger and hate.

When all the arrows that we have are cast We may ask one another why we hate And fail to find a story to relate. It may seem then to us a mystery That we should hate each other for no valid reason .

"Jo believed in a better world and she fought for it every day of her life with an energy, and a zest for life that would exhaust most people.

She would have wanted two things above all else to happen now, one that our precious children are bathed in love and two, that we all unite to fight against the hatred that killed her. Hate doesn’t have a creed, race or religion, it is poisonous.

Jo would have no regrets about her life, she lived every day of it to the full."

Really can't believe something like this can happen in the UK to anyone. I am not in the country at the moment and I have only just picked up on the news that she actually died. When I went out earlier, it was a shooting and now I discover she actually died. Words fail me....

Thoughts must now be with her husband and two young children. Simply awful for them. What an absolute stomach churning and sickening tragedy.

The guy who did this is surely going to have a very, very long time to try to reconcile his despicable act that has ripped an innocent family apart.

I had never heard of this lady when I went to work this morning and no doubt many others in here hadn't either.

However, I find myself in a state of shock, grief and mourning.

Not only for the MP, the wife, the mum, the friend that has been lost but for what could have been.

A beacon of light and hope has just gone out in an increasingly selfish and cynical world.

That, in itself, is as tragic as the way the events of today have unfolded before the people of Birstall.

A truly sad day x

Like so many people across the UK, we never met her but possibly heard about her through political events, programmes or in the media.

I unashamedly, shed a few tears tonight when I heard this news. She was only doing the job she loved representing those who did or didn't vote for her with equality and dignity.

But it only took a minute for someone with a mixed up mind or misguided _iews to destroy that dedication of hers.

Whatever we may say about how much we love or hate MP's, they do a job which many of us wouldn't necessarily do in a country where they can still exercise freedom of speech and carry out their function in relative safety, harmony and understanding.

Tonight's tributes on TV, Radio etc said it all; very profound and for once, politicians and allied political groups from all sides coming together in solidarity.

RIP.

Judging from her record I don't think that she would have wanted that. You don't honour her memory by going so pliantly against her beliefs.

I also think it's totaly inappropriate to use this sad event to try to promote the BREXIT cause. here here BOTH sides stopped campaigning for the day as a mark of respect shame some cannot do the same

The BBC said something about the campaign resuming on Saturday. I took that to mean both sides. It would be in very bad taste if one side is out tomorrow when the other isn't.

It could well be that the police have advised that in order to put extra security in place for further events from Saturday onwards.

But we now know he had links to a far-right group campaigning to leave the EU.

Not at all. I just think a brief period of quite reflection at a time like this is probably better than anything else. We've all perhaps allowed are worst feelings about those who oppose us get the better of us during this campaign. I think to come out fighting now would simply send the wrong signal. We should be thinking about her and the personal loss of her loved ones, at least for a while.

But it's just my personal thoughts.

Desperately saddened by the tragic death of Jo Cox. My heart breaks for her family. At the same time deeply disturbed by the culture of hate borne out of so called political fervour that we find ourselves surrounded by today.

A truly wonderful, caring human being has had her life ended in a totally inhuman way. May she rest in peace.

I was aware of Jo Cox, but only through her charity work. Such a sad loss. Our personal thoughts are with her Husband, children, family and friends. I hope they find the strength to cope with the loss and the aftermath.

I am reminded of the following quote, which was brought to my attention when a much-loved comrade fell on the battlefield...

"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths.

These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern.

Beautiful people do not just happen".

True he had history of mental health problems and lived with his mum.

It's a knee-jerk gesture in a # world. I don't understand people leaving flowers at an accident when they don't know the person but they do because people feel a need to make a gesture. You choose to see it as Remain raising awareness, and some will be but most will just be expressing their gesture to the hate and hopelessness of this terrible event.

A point of correction;

Black powder guns require a Licence.

And you need a second Licence to purchase the black powder itself. Both of which are extremely difficult to obtain.

as far as I am aware its only an explosive licence

I never knew you needed a licence to buy black powder, I will ask friends who own them

strange

as you do not need a license to purchase gun powder

you don't need a license to buy shells

or bullet heads

or primers

its only when you assemble and complete the round that you "should" then add the amount you have made onto your firearm certificate
