It's funny how the people who are first to scream muslim are all over the internet telling us not to rush to judgement

And the man who was the first one to help her stated he heard no such thing. Therefore it's jumping to conclusions.

Better that we hope see pulls through and that he is in custody.

I looked at websites of The Daily Mail, The Guardian and the BBC.
The former two are both reporting the 'Britain First' shout, naming different witnesses.

I haven't seen reports from this first person on the scene that you mention.

Playing politics on the back of such an occurrence seems, even for NSC, to be in particularly poor taste.

If the rumours turn out to be true that this man has a long history of mental illness, there's going to be a few red faces in this thread.

I share your view up to a point, but if it was politically motivated, what then?

Irrespective of the motive, 'then' is the time to deal with the fallout, not NOW.

Edit
Now is the time for family and friends.

Like all MP's, they go into the job meaning to do good. They do not deserve this, rest in peace.

I'm basing my comments on:
-- the fact that an MP is in a critical condition as a result of one or both of being shot and stabbed
-- several witnesses heard the perpetrator shout Britain First before committing the act

Do let us know when you deem it appropriate to arrive at a conclusion.

Sympathy with her family first and foremost?
