No one involved in the Brighton bombing has been elevated to the status of Jo Cox anyway.

It's a tragedy that she was murdered. It doesn't mean her husband can't be criticised!

What would Lee Rigby's wife have to do with him? She is her own person, just as - shock horror - Brendan Cox is his. No one (well, apart from maybe Kizzy - and for the record I disagree with her line of reasoning) is suggesting he can't be criticised. Discuss him all you like, HE is the subject of the news story - not his wife. The media running with 'husband of Jo Cox' is crass too, that doesn't mean you all have to follow it to the letter.

No one has given Jo Cox a sainthood status as is being so nastily implied here. And, for what it's worth, Lee Rigby is on a much higher pedestal than she has ever been. I wonder why that is?

You are above this kind of thing Livia and you know full well you are too. I realise you hate anything and anyone left-of-centre but making these kind of inflammatory comments as you have been for quite some time now is not conducive to the productive discourse that you, I and many others have been trying to restore in this section recently.

still, i dont want to ruin anyones ivory tower shower party...

Except they didn't, did they LT? The first and last posts here cast aspersions against the woman herself. And the other two are just pathetic.

Now go bait someone else
