I remember, decades back, a story about the premature demise of an otherwise promising Labour minister, for having accepted a £300 watch from a high-placed Saudi source. Voila, the press furore. A 🇺🇸 #diplomat, I think he an ambassadorial staffer in London, responding on #BBCRadioFour said, to the effect: ""£300! You Brits don’t know the meaning of “#corruption.” Well, we’ve caught up. #Johnson #NadhimZahawi #Westminster is an appalling place. Memories of #JoCox & #DavidAmess very much alive.

Part of the reason why so many people in the #UK still don't want to blame its current economic woes on #Brexit is because they are afraid, perhaps with justification, of being targeted by dangerous radicals. The threat of #politicalviolence in the wake of #JoCox's murder has had a chilling effect on mainstream debate.

Did #horrorclown #BoJo really mock the murdered MP #JoCox by ridiculing her commitment for a reliable, open and liberal #GreatBritain in parliament today? If so: to hell with him. What a deplorable fuckhead.
