The appalling and senseless murder of Jo Cox MP on Thursday 16th June 2016 by the deranged psychotic Thomas Mair shocked us all and resulted in a very public outpouring of grief from her politician colleagues.
Disgracefully, some of them made shameless political capital out of it for the #Remain campaign in the European Referendum. One leaflet, distributed in Kate Hoey’s constituency, directly blamed the murder on the veteran #Leave Labour MP. ‘Jo Cox’s tragic murder is possibly only the start’, it raved.
USING AN OPPORTUNITY
Jo Cox’s widower, Brendan, also a campaigner for left-wing causes, chimed in, quick to blame ‘hate’ rather than shortcomings in our mental health service for his wife’s death. We should have sympathy for him in his loss, but to claim ‘Politics’ (rather than lunacy) was behind her death went beyond normal grieving. It was political point-scoring.
Brendan Cox has now tweeted a link to a fund-raising page for his late wife on the ‘gofundme’ website. Frankly, he is using the opportunity to raise funds initially for two causes which might not ordinarily draw any support or credence from anyone outside his circle, in addition to the worthy Royal Voluntary Service.
HOPE NOT HATE
The second of his three causes is ‘Hope not Hate’ which ‘seeks to challenge and defeat the politics of hate and extremism within local communities, building resilience against the politics of hate and fear’. ‘Hate’ is a buzzword used by those on the godless left to demonise anyone who disagrees with them.
In practice, ‘Hope not Hate’ are pro-Islam and pro-sodomy. Anyone who opposes those causes is not someone with whom they respectfully disagree, but one motivated by ‘hate’. Indeed, that is how Brendan Cox used ‘hate’, trying to use his wife’s tragic death as a campaign tool. In his eyes, anyone wanting the leave the EU, especially over concerns about immigration, is driven by ‘hate’.
WHITE HELMETS
The third of Brendan’s three causes is the Syrian ‘White Helmets’, also known as ‘Syrian National Defence’. It was not formed by Syrians, but by the UK Foreign Office. Its operatives pose as humanitarians in Syria. In practice, they are anti-Assad extremist Sunni Muslims allied with Al Nusra front, the Al Qaeda offshoot.
And in truth, they don’t need a single penny of our money. Despite claiming on its website not to take any money from governments, ‘White Helmets’ has received $23m from the US Government and $40m from organisations funded by George Soros. The US and Soros only give to organisations which advance their interests; in this case, the destructive one of regime change in Syria.
AID WORKER
Before being elected to Parliament in 2015, Mrs Cox had many years of experience as an aid worker and advisor for global charities. According to her LinkedIn profile, she spent five years working for Oxfam in Belgium, the U.S., and the U.K. She was a Strategy Consultant for Save the Children and NSPCC, as well as a Strategic Adviser for both The Freedom Fund and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Additionally, she served as a Patron, Trustee, and Board member for various other campaigns and causes. She also received the Young Global Leader award in 2009 at the Davos World Economic Forum, and was a winner of the DEVEX 40 under 40 International Development Leaders Award in 2012.
INAPPROPRIATE
In September last year, Brendan Cox left Save the Children amid complaints about ‘inappropriate behaviour’ towards women. He quit after four years as its director of policy and advocacy. He denied the claims made against him and the charity declined to comment.
The day before her murder, Jo and Brendan Cox and their two children joined Sir Bob Geldof’s well-oiled, foul-mouthed flotilla by manning an inflatable against Brexit-leaning fishermen on the Thames. The pop millionaire’s obscene gestures in the direction of the fishermen revealed the contempt of the well-heeled #Remain camp against ordinary people.
ANTI-ISRAEL
Despite a eulogy from the Chief Rabbi, Jo Cox was no parliamentary friend of Israel. She included goods from ‘Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank‘ among ‘unsavoury activities’ which should be boycotted.
Two days after her death, the Palestinian Hamas terrorist group (also Sunni Muslim) were on the bandwagon: ‘The Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas has expressed its sincere condolences to the family, friends and admirers of slain UK MP Jo Cox.
‘The Palestinian people have lost a friend and a defender of their rights,’ Hamas said in a press release on Saturday. ‘Cox was … a passionate advocate for the Palestinian cause.’
The Hamas Charter states its Islamic determination to ‘eliminate’ the state of Israel, helpfully explaining, in Article 28, that this is because Israel is ‘Jewish’. In Article seven it urges Muslims to ‘fight the Jews and kill them’. Hamas is the Palestinian governing authority of the Gaza Strip.
Also in the House of Commons, Jo Cox voted for Doctor Assisted Dying in September last year and abstained on the crucial vote in November over whether the Royal Air Force should bomb Islamic State in Syria.
LACK OF DECENCY
Douglas Murray, writing in the Spectator on Saturday, complained about the lack of ‘decency’ around Jo Cox’s death.
“‘Remainers’, he said, may try to say that a vote to stay in the EU is a vote against ‘hatred’ and for ‘hope’ or the politics of ‘unity’ over those of ‘division’. Such a move would bring about the triumph of the assassin’s veto in our society – something which could not only have appalling short-term consequences, but bloody long-term ones as well. I trust that those campaigning for ‘Remain’ recognise that a victory achieved on those terms would be the sourest and most divisive victory of all.”
Sadly, Brendan Cox has lacked that decency at this solemn time.

The boost to the Remain campaign as a result of Jo Cox’s murder is singularly illogical, and would be a tragedy if it affected the result of the Referendum. However, she was young mother and elected public servant murdered doing her duty and hence her elevation to national heroine status, to someone who could have done virtually no wrong in the public mind, is inevitable. Hence any negative appraisal of her views, or of her husband at this point is I feel likely to be counter-productive and therefore unhelpful, despite any factual accuracy.
Thanks, brother. Don’t worry, the BBC won’t be picking up this story and putting it all over the one-o’clock news. Just trust the Lord for his mercy. I expect you have been praying!
Whenever a teenager dies, he or she turns out to have been the most popular person in the whole school, with staff and pupils alike. Local newspapers report this fact faithfully every time.
True, Every time anyone is murdered where it can be given political sway that person is always the best person to have lived.
Some are saying the woman on the boat was not Jo Cox but a mystery women. I have not found anything on the web to confirm or deny this.
Many parents would not take such small children in that kind of boat at all, and certainly not on this kind of escapade with the risk of crashing into something hostile and bigger. I really don’t believe that a mother would entrust them to their father and another woman on such a mission.
I tend to think you are right.
waiting for the pope to declare her a saint. But has she an accredited miracle to her name?
Thanks for bringing some light into this sad situation regarding motives and context Stephen. Keep up with this very good work.
The liberal left and the Government have total rejected GOD and Christian Values Everything Christianity is, is now being demonized and those who follow Christians beliefs are terrorized by those people who hate GOD and moral value, but instead promote their own deviant and liberal causes, rejecting the past 2000 years and pretending our celebrations of Christ were that of some other pagan life.. The liberal left hates all normal standard family values and place twisted living before it, pretending to themselves they achieve found the perfect solution for harmony.
Even those remainers HATE those who chose to Brexit. The liberal left, media and the governments are the Haters of this world. The twisted ideology of modern politicians while at the same time being very limited in education try to run our country by stealth rather than our true democratic values.
Putin is right to support Assad against the Wests onslaught and attacks against Syria and Russia. The wets including Britain have become the terrorists of the world along with Isis. The claims that Russia are killing innocent people is a Lie, it is those who are supported by the West who are killing innocent people.
