77 year old Bernard Kenny risked his life to try and save Jo Cox from that maniac,but despite his couragesous efforts tragically she died. Bernard is currently stable in hospital. He was a coal mine rescuer and was involved in pulling miners out of the Yorkshire mining disaster in 1973. The man is a legend and if you too think he deserves the George cross for bravery please sign here. Its comforting to know such great people are out there, It takes a coward to destroy, but a hero to save lives

It would be very fitting he receive that, true British spirit from a true British hero.

It does indeed,I hope he gets it.

I think he should be awarded the George Medal. I think its unlikely he would get the George Cross.

Livia · 21-06-2016, 01:22 PM

How about the two women who tried to talk down the people who murdered Lee Rigby? Or do people only deserve a medal if it's an MP involved?

And how many people backing the awarding of the GM would be so happy to see it given to someone who'd saved an MP from another party? George Osborne, for instance?

How about pushing him down the stairs instead then?

It was a joke, you seem very annoyed that someone suggested doing a nice thing for a hero

I'm shocked they didn't get some form of accolade tbh,

Had it been anyone else shot in the face then my feelings would be the same personally, are you directing that question to all or just the people in the thread?

I'm not annoyed at all.

It does seem to me, that if he'd tried to save a pensioner or someone from the Tories, no mention of awards would be made. Seems out of whack to me.

Well, I don't really follow your politics but i would have thought the fact that he's 77 years old and was injured himself was more the reason people are suggesting it? It was an amazing act of bravery for such an old man imo.

What? He was a pensioner, that makes no sense, who would think that anyone trying to save anyone from any party was not worthy of an award?... sorry but that's horrible and sick imo.

Are you saying some people are biased?

It absolutely was a heroic act. And I do agree that he should be recognised as a hero. The George Medal though? Only if you're going to award it to every person who tries to intervene in any one of the 600 or so murders every year.

Is it not for acts of bravery?

the truth · 21-06-2016, 02:00 PM

he has lead an heroic life previously, but he nearly died here trying to save her and is still fighting for his life....i hope some of the £1 illion jo cox fund goes towards this heroic pensioner and his recovery

Yes it is. But not every single act of bravery... or thousands and thousands of people would get them every year.

I agree he should be recognised for what he did.

What counts him out for this then over other people who have gotten them? How many pensioners in the UK have actually got stabbed while trying to save someone, there surely can't be loads.....or any even this year besides him?
