She's in a critical condition and may not pull through.

The scumbag who assassinated this lovely lady, wife & mother,probably wants to go down in history as a warrior for English rights. Why don't we give him his moment of glory, he could become the first Britisher to be publicly executed by slow strangulation in a long time. If he were to be ''hung by the neck until dead'' I would like to volunteer to hold on to his legs not to help him to die you understand but to lift so that he would die slowly & be gasping for breath. I swear to you all that I am quite sane as I type this but am so incensed by his actions I do not accept that some people say he is probably insane & not responsible for his actions. I say rubbish it is time that people like him & the bar steward who beheaded the soldier Ridley are once & for all dealt with. End of tirade.

As a great lady once said." I can do business with this
Man" or similar. Inconcur with your rant.

The Soldier was Lee RIGBY.

//Hardly gave his name as that. Was asked to confirm his name when he decided to make a statement instead//

actually OG that's exactly how he gave his name - even preceding the political statement with "my name is...."

- unless the BBC's Daniel Sandford was struck with a case of Daily Mail-itis when he reported that.....

Plain to see. Gave his name........

[Old_Geezer]

On the TV news that was what was said, but on the website I read earlier that wasn't how they put it. These news media channels need to be consistent; and clear.

[Old_Geezer]

Having returned to the website I see they have now edited what was there earlier.

[ladybirder]

Does this man realise what a terrible thing he has done? Two little children motherless and absolutely no remorse. He must be away on another planet.

[Old_Geezer]

I think it's unlikely he considers that a priority. Probably doesn't consider it at all.

[mikey4444]

ladybirder....unfortunately, he appears to know exactly what he has done, judging by his conduct in Court today.

Earlier I posted:

> It appears to me that Tommy Mair is to Britain First as Omar Mateen is to ISIS.

Given the image later posted by Svejk ( https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ClLCi7UXIAEnwsF.jpg ), and what Mair stated in court today in place of his name, I think I was wrong earlier ...

[ladybirder]

It would appear so Ellipsis, but early days yet. No doubt more will be revealed as investigations continue.

[Ellipsis]

Not a coincidence that a bystander thought he heard him shout "[Put?] Britain First" as he shot Jo Cox, there's a picture of him at a Britain First rally, and he gave his name as "Death to traitors, freedom for Britain" ...
