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.<\/p>\n

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<\/b><\/a>, directly blamed the murder on the veteran #Leave Labour MP. \u2018Jo Cox’s tragic murder is possibly only the start’, it raved.<\/p>\n

USING AN OPPORTUNITY<\/h2>\n

Jo Cox’s widower, Brendan, also a campaigner for left-wing causes, chimed in, quick to blame \u2018hate’ 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 \u2018Politics’ (rather than lunacy) was behind her death went beyond normal grieving. It was political point-scoring.<\/p>\n

\"Brendan<\/a>

Brendan Cox has now tweeted<\/b><\/a> a link to a fund-raising page for his late wife on the \u2018gofundme’ 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.<\/p>\n

HOPE NOT HATE<\/h2>\n

The second of his three causes is \u2018Hope not Hate’ which \u2018seeks to challenge and defeat the politics of hate and extremism within local communities, building resilience against the politics of hate and fear’. \u2018Hate’ is a buzzword used by those on the godless left to demonise anyone who disagrees with them.<\/p>\n

In practice, \u2018Hope 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 \u2018hate’. Indeed, that is how Brendan Cox used \u2018hate’, 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 \u2018hate’.<\/p>\n

WHITE HELMETS<\/h2>\n

The third of Brendan’s three causes is the Syrian \u2018White Helmets’, also known as \u2018Syrian 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.<\/p>\n

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, \u2018White Helmets’ has received $23m from the US Government and $40m from organisations funded by George Soros<\/b><\/a>. The US and Soros only give to organisations which advance their interests; in this case, the destructive one of regime change in Syria.<\/p>\n

AID WORKER<\/h2>\n

Before being elected to Parliament in 2015, Mrs Cox had many years of experience as an aid worker and advisor for global charities<\/b><\/a>. 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<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Jo<\/a>

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.<\/p>\n

INAPPROPRIATE<\/h2>\n

In September last year, Brendan Cox left Save the Children amid complaints about \u2018inappropriate 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<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The day before her murder, Jo and Brendan Cox and their two children joined Sir Bob Geldof’s well-oiled, foul-mouthed flotilla<\/b><\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

\"Jo<\/a>

ANTI-ISRAEL<\/h2>\n

Despite a eulogy from the Chief Rabbi, Jo Cox was no parliamentary friend of Israel. She included goods from \u2018Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank<\/b><\/a>‘ among \u2018unsavoury activities’ which should be boycotted.<\/p>\n

Two days after her death, the Palestinian Hamas terrorist group (also Sunni Muslim) were on the bandwagon: \u00a0\u2018The Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas has expressed its sincere condolences to the family, friends and admirers of slain UK MP Jo Cox.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Palestinian people have lost a friend and a defender of their rights,’ Hamas said in a press release on Saturday<\/b><\/a>. \u2018Cox was …\u00a0a passionate advocate for the Palestinian cause.’<\/p>\n

The Hamas Charter<\/b><\/a> states its Islamic determination to ‘eliminate’\u00a0the state of Israel, helpfully explaining, in Article 28, that this is because Israel is ‘Jewish’. \u00a0In Article seven it urges Muslims to ‘fight the Jews and kill them’. \u00a0Hamas is the Palestinian governing authority of the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n

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\u00a0the Royal Air Force should bomb Islamic State in Syria.<\/p>\n

LACK OF DECENCY<\/h2>\n

Douglas Murray, writing in the Spectator<\/b><\/a>\u00a0on Saturday, complained about the lack of \u2018decency’ around Jo Cox’s death.<\/p>\n

“\u2018Remainers’, he said, may try to say that a vote to stay in the EU is a vote against \u2018hatred’ and for \u2018hope’ or the politics of \u2018unity’ over those of \u2018division’. Such a move would bring about the triumph of the assassin’s veto in our society \u2013 something which could not only have appalling short-term consequences, but bloody long-term ones as well. I trust that those campaigning for \u2018Remain’ recognise that a victory achieved on those terms would be the sourest and most divisive victory of all.”<\/p>\n

Sadly, Brendan Cox has lacked that\u00a0decency at this solemn\u00a0time.<\/p>\n
