Sorry if this has been mentioned elsewhere, RIP Ms Widdecombe, a character of politics, no 78 year old woman deserves to suffer the horrendous death she apparently suffered, I met her when she was prison minister and she was very staff orientated but also campaigned for prisoners to be treated fairly

It has been mentioned elsewhere and shown that people’s warped political prejudices outweigh common decency.

Shown all too often from people.

Maybe keep this thread respectful?

Some folk are glad she’s dead. They’re also the ones who screech about suffering from mental health and talk about wanting to cry. Go figure.

unlikely

The 26 year old suspect released I see. The police say they will now 'start again from square one and examine the evidence in great detail' yet have apparently stated it's neither terrorist nor politically motivated.

It will be 'mental health' then. Either that or a family member?

Burglary gone wrong?

Political motive doesn't really make sense given she's long-retired.

Her carer found her, must have been/is a suspect?

Released him.

They are now looking for a recently arrived Somalian immigrant with links to Iran Afghanistan and Islamic terror cells. Already known to MI5.

No, you can't mention status, ethnicity or nationality or links to terrorists unless they are White British

What a headfuck that must be

Arrested on suspicion of murder and held in custody only to be released and "no longer part of the investigation" hours later

She was certainly a politician of conviction and never left anyone in any doubt over where she stood, and for that alone I respected her

Far more preferable than a lot of the career-oriented weasels we see in politics these days

A classic British eccentric too

Her murder is an awful thing

Apologies, it will be all over Twitter.

Mr Farage has been saying how this shows the risks people in public life face, despite the fact no one knows what has happened. But just imagine one of your work colleagues has been killed and your reaction is to try and use it to make a point.

Wrong innit? In the good old days, they'd have knocked him about a bit, kept him awake for 48 hours then got him to sign a confession.

Bloody woke detectives these days.

That was just horrendous, crass opportunism from Farage. You can see why him and Trump are bosom buddies. Both utter narcissistic tawts

She was barely cold and he was releasing a video saying how dangerous things are for politicians atm, ie thinly disguised prop for his own position/ predicament right now. He couldn't just say something like it's devastating news and hope the perpetrator is caught soon, instead he had to use it to push his own agenda

He'll be pleased as fuck it's happened, plays right up to what he's been talking about recently, the timing is perfect for him
