Thread: British MP Jo Cox in critical condition after attack in Birstall, police say

in collaboration with her family and her husband to raise funds for causes that were close to her heart.

i hope some of the money goes to support the young girls vilely abused by the predatory gangs that proliferated in the districts close to her constituency.

strangely enough, i cant recall her ever commenting on those cases, although i could be wrong.

the following is from an article by a strongly right wing publication, but nevertheless makes some valid points, especially about her husband.

Jo Cox wanted to make the world a better place and it was a cause for which she was willing to travel halfway across the globe. Whether consoling rape victims in Darfur or bombed out villagers in Afghanistan, it seemed the jet-setting international aid worker was rarely far from the action.

Lately it had been the struggle of Syrian war refugees to get to the West that touched her heart, and their plight was a subject she returned to again and again after becoming a Member of Parliament. It seemed there was no victims anywhere she could not empathise with.

Except, perhaps, with one striking omission.

And that would be the child rape victims of grooming gangs in her own back yard. For her West Yorkshire constituency is near the epicentre of the child rape epidemic that has been sweeping the Labour heartlands of northern England, largely ignored or covered up by social services workers, police and politicians.

For it is a striking omission that of all the subjects she enjoyed sounding off on, this world-famous crisis affecting the poorest Whites on her doorstep was not one of them. One cannot help wonder if this shrewd silence was connected to the fact that her lavishly paid MPs job in the constituency of Batley and Spen largely depended on the support of the local Muslim community.

Co-incidentally, just as Jo Cox was shot and stabbed to death outside her constituency office in Birstall last Thursday, sentencing was about to take place at Leeds Crown Court after a long trial involving a horrific case of child exploitation.

Tribute after tribute bore witness to Jo Cox’s uniqueness. But in reality, nothing could have been further from the truth. In fact, women like Jo Cox are ten a penny across the West these days — bland, compliant functionaries who have been marinated in political correctness and are happy to regurgitate the platitudes and attitudes of their political masters. And are well-rewarded for doing so. Elizabeth Warren (AKA Pocahontas) in the US comes to mind.

She was that toxic combination of self-righteousness and entitlement which believed itself possessed of a special moral insight into the moral shortcomings of their own people. Never slow to parade her compassion, she was also calculating enough to help more dubious causes, as when she lent her name to a government minister who was lobbying for Britain to begin bombing in Syria. Bombing and babies; it was all business for Jo Cox.

Hers was the typical smooth career path of the modern political cog. From her grammar school, where she was the Head Girl, she seamlessly moved onto an extended period at two universities before emerging as professional aid worker for Oxfam and Save the Children. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation was another fashionable international development outfit in which she managed to wangle a position as “advisor.”

She certainly travelled extensively, but to what extent did she get her hands dirty? Rather than mopping sweat-covered brows, her role as a policy consultant seemed to revolve swanning around seminars, conferences and committee rooms in Brussels and London. Networking, rather than counselling, seems the main skill in this field.

The safe Labour seat seems to have been a reward for acting as a bag-carrier for prominent political wives such as that of former Prime Minister Gordon Brown and a former Labour leader and Euro aristocrat Neil Kinnock. Her constituency seat had been represented by local White men for decades so an all-female shortlist had to be imposed on the local party to ensure an acceptable candidate could be given this plum.

It was a gilded lifestyle with a houseboat on the Thames beside Tower Bridge at which she hosted networking events for important left-wing women. There was a second house in her constituency which was a venue for a huge Solstice party each year.

The role of international aid worker is highly valued among a section of shrewd university-educated females. It offers a particularly attractive combination of a good salary in an expanding sector, frequent foreign travel and high status among the do-gooding circles.

And then there was her husband Brendan Cox, who is also an international development consultant. While one can have all the sympathy in the world for someone left to bring up two children on his own, it would be remiss of me not to point out that he has had a rocky career in the development field. He was forced out of a position at the Save the Children Fund after several women accused him of “acting inappropriately”; acutely embarrassing no doubt for a wife who was the “equalities and discrimination advisor” for a Labour Women’s Network.

He has since been jetting around Europe for the World Economic Forum. He is examining ways to combat the “populist opposition” to the “refugee” population transfer programme. Among his findings are that the vote for nationalist parties is not important and that European populations are still willing to take in far more refugees.

Quite, and you seem to have forgotten the link:

The selective compassion of Jo Cox | The Occidental Observer - White Identity, Interests, and Culture

The Occidental Observer (tagline: 'White Identity, Interests, and Culture') and its white nationalist and antisemitic perspective.

I had figured as much. I'd be reluctant to admit that I had poisoned my eyes viewing such a site too.

Nothing strange about providing a link to the source though. This is the news forum after all.

epidemic
noun: a widespread outbreak of an infectious disease; many people are infected at the same time
▸ adjective: (especially of medicine) of disease or anything resembling a disease; attacking or affecting many individuals in a community or a population simultaneously

thousands , 10's of thousands , or even 100's of thousands ?

or just hate mongering to maximise income ?

how can you restrict yourself to reading only about opinions that you agree with and cut yourself off from opposing and sometimes unpalatable views.

google jo cox, child abuse, rotherham and compassion and up it comes. right at the top, and it is strange that i cant find any references to her commenting on those child abuse cases.

I don't, and that's not the point, but if the opinion comes from a white nationalist and antisemitic source that's a relevant consideration in weighing it, no?

but if the opinion comes from a white nationalist and antisemitic source that's a relevant consideration in weighing it,

of course. one should definitely try to keep abreast of how the minds of those we disagree with work and the direction they may be heading in.

you have to know someones mind before you can try and change it, and the best way to deal with extremists is to change their views.

(and if you cant do that by reasoned debate and negotiation, then send in the military!)

Which is why I, a supposed rabid anti-raghead read Ummah. com and Asian Image, Al-Jazeerah, and labour party drivel even...

Your problem is not that of reading but that of understanding what you read

Hmm..., send the military to the homes of British racists/supremacists? Those whose publications you read and find yourself in agreement with?
