Conservative MP Sir David Amess has been murdered today after being stabbed 'multiple times' by a 25-year-old killer who sprinted into a church and knifed him to death during his weekly constituency surgery.
The Tory MP for Southend West, 69, was meeting locals at the Belfairs Methodist Church, in Eastwood Road North, Leigh-on-Sea, when his attacker ran into the building wielding a knife before attacking the veteran politician at just after midday.
Paramedics worked to save the politician on the floor of a Essex church for more than an hour but he could not be saved after the appalling attack with chilling similarities to the murder of Labour MP Jo Cox, who was shot and stabbed multiple times outside her constituency surgery at a local library in Birstall, West Yorkshire, in June 2016 by a right-wing terrorist.

who is the murderer? What was his motivation? The press coverage conveniently leaves this out. My guess: Islamic terrorism.
When there's zero description or identity of the perp, you know it's because he doesn't fit the narrative.
The second MP to be brutally murdered in 5 years. A truly terrible thing. Since 2011 the Conservative party have closed 3/4s of the police stations in London alone. Got rid of 22,000 police officers in England. Prime Minister Theresa May ordered the police to halt stop & search thereby encouraging knife crime. The murder rate in London has soared. The politicians couldn't care less as its mostly black on black murders. Last week I walked in the West End of London. I didn't see a single copper walking a beat when prior to 2008 & the advent of the disaterous pan burgh policing, there'd be hundreds. I saw 2 junkies shooting up in broad daylight in a major thoroughfare just yards from the closed down Tottenham Court Road Police Station. Our politicians may gut our emergency services & armed forces as they think they're above it all. Maybe now they will start to do the right things to keep all of us safe. I won't hold my breath. Keep ducking 🙊
