This is pretty horrific, and thankfully reports are that someone has been arrested. Some reports saying that the man shouted "Britain First!", but this isn't confirmed.

Quite outrageous really. Hopefully, the MP will be okay.

Awful news, hope she pulls through.

Appalling news. Hope she pulls through. Sounds like a far-right Britain First knuckledragger reading eyewitness reports, hope he never sees the light of day again.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #8 on:** June 16, 2016, 03:39:16 pm »

This is terrible news, hope she pulls through okay. He sounds a deranged nutter, very happy he's been arrested.

Horrific news, an absolute disgrace that an MP should be targeted like this. Hope she fully recovers and the dickhead who did this recognises that no matter what grievances you have- doing this has absolutely no place in our country.

Agree but for the last line. Hope your not trying to say or presume already that it was someone not from this Country.

Really shocking news. I hope she recovers quickly.

Absolutely not. I actaully tried to rephrase that as I didn't want to it descending into a Brexit debate. I meant that in some other countries this is a regular occurance, we do not and it should not become part of British politics. That MPs can meet face to face with constituents and discuss issues is a brilliant part of our democracy, we do not want it to end because of the threat to members of parliament.

I dont think that's what the poster is implying. Seems unlikely anyway seeing as they're reported to have said 'Britain first' which strikes me as something unusual for a foreign national to say.

Dearly hope that she will be ok.

Lots of heightened bad feeling about with this referendum and I'm not sure it will pass very quickly, sadly.

He is not a foreign national. There is photos of him being arrested already and he has been named.

Hope Jo makes a full recovery.

Know the area well as the mother in law lives there.

What a world we live in.

So wrong. A politician who'd spent years working on trying to make things better for people here in Britain and abroad even before she became an MP.

Rest in peace.
