Only a matter of time before we take it to the next level
The Guardian is live updating coverage of the murder of Jo Cox. The newest item is terrifying:
In a further indication of far right reaction to the murder of Jo Cox, the Observer’s home affairs editor Mark Townsend reports that another Yorkshire MP received a death threat for sympathising with refugees the day before Jo Cox was murdered.
Notts Casual Infidels, a far right group belonging to the extremist Infidels network, posted an image of York Central Labour MP Rachael Maskell addressing a “refugees welcome rally” at 9:39am on Thursday June 15 with the warning: “This bitch needs to disappear.”
Hours after Cox’s death later that day, the same group said in a Facebook post: “We knew it was only a matter of time before we take it to the next level. We have been mugged off for Far to (sic) long.” The post was later deleted.
There are far too many people who think various “bitches” need to disappear.
Only women help refugees? There are no male politicians they can’t stand? This gets weirder by the minute.
Damn – I was rather fond of the “infidel” label for freethinkers, but if the Islamophobes now have a claim on it…
