You know what, splitting hairs about what could or should have been done, or what could or should be done is going to solve 🤬 nothing.
What happened happened. And it is a heinous crime in which a sitting representative of the British parliament was murdered. The murderer was caught. He was, and is, on trial almost immediately.
A family is devastated and a nation is shocked. We all have our cynicism about politics and politicians but by all accounts, Jo Cox was one of the good ones. They are demonstrating this right now on BBC Parliament where the House as a whole is remembering her.
If there is nothing nice to be said, there is nothing to be said at all. Why be a Billy big bollocks about it and try and say what you would have done or what a 'normal' person should have done?
