No MP should be killed or injured because of their job.
But the hypocrisy is rampant today,
Nothing examples it more than that weirdo Dan Hodges (was Glenda Jackson really a "left-wing" MP or just a bloody good actress?) calling out Labour "hate" for Tories whilst piling in on a Labour Mp and after authoring an article calling for Labour to kill Jeremy Corbyn even depicting Corbyn in a coffin with a ghastly death palor. 
I mean GLENDA SLAGG in Private Eye was meant to be an exaggeration..or was she??

Oh I'm sure his motive was totally honest. And I'm sure, as it caught fire, it dawned on him this could also be a good career move (wrong; it killed his music career but he didn't think that through). Just as most of the Live Aid lot were genuinely doing it for the best of intentions though a few might have enjoyed the benefit. All but dear Freddie who saw it as a great promotional opportunity and used it brilliantly. |

I am not a great fan, but I am sure that Bob Geldof didn't do it on purpose. |

His town to be made a city. Perhaps his next of kin could be canonised?
We live in a world of signalling & he who signals loudest gets the crown. |

For Sir David Amess MP. Very sad. No silence for the 14 year old boy stabbed in Glasgow. This means MPs only give a fuck about people being killed if they are directly connected. Kids in Scotland? Not worth a comment, let alone silence. Unless you're his family when, naturally, you're devastated.
The advantage of this attitude is, of course, nobody needs do anything apart from being as loudly upset as possible. A code perfected by Sir Bob Geldof who showed how much he cared about those dying in Africa by swearing on TV and organising vast sums into corrupt officials' pockets (and away from boring charities trying to save African lives). We can now watch billions being spent in Nightingale type political laws and rules which will achieve nothing but get massive positive media coverage, whilst thousands will be killed by legal and police incompetence, greed or corruption.
Hypocrisy. Isn't it wonderful? A Great British (and, indeed, global) talent. |
