    This makes me really angry.

    We’ve lost 2 MP’s in recent memory, I don’t care their leaning, they were murdered while in service to the people as a member of parliament. You wanna go for the prime minister? again, don’t care his political leaning, fuck you. Make an example of them.

      Would the reaction be the same if it wasn’t a politician and just a regular person out of the public eye?

        No, an attack on a member of our government, particularly the prime minister, is an attack on our entire nation.

        (by ‘the’ reaction, I assume you mean mine)

        That said, such an attack is never acceptable.

        Isn’t that the point though it wouldn’t have occurred to a random member of the public because a random member of the public isn’t a politician.
