Jo Cox and why Brendan is wrong
The appalling and senseless
murder of Jo Cox MP on Thursday 16th June 2016 shocked us all and resulted in a
very public outpouring of grief from her politician colleagues.
Disgracefully, some of them made
shameless political capital out of it for the #Remain campaign in the European
Referendum. One leaflet, distributed in Kate
Hoey’s constituency, directly blamed the murder on the veteran
#Leave Labour MP. ‘Jo Cox’s tragic murder is possibly only the start’, it
raved.
USING AN OPPORTUNITY
Jo Cox’s husband, Brendan, also a
campaigner for left-wing causes, was quick to blame ‘hate’ rather than
shortcomings in our mental health service for his wife’s death. We should have
sympathy for him in his loss, but to claim ‘Politics’ (rather than lunacy) was
behind her death went beyond normal grieving. It was political point-scoring.
Brendan Cox has now tweeted a link
to a fund-raising page for his late wife on the ‘gofundme’ website. Frankly, he
is using the opportunity to raise funds initially for two causes which might
not ordinarily draw any support or credence from anyone outside his circle, in
addition to the worthy Royal Voluntary Service.
HOPE NOT HATE
The second of his three causes is
‘Hope not Hate’ which ‘seeks to challenge and defeat the politics of hate and
extremism within local communities, building resilience against the politics of
hate and fear’. ‘Hate’ is a buzzword used by those on the godless left to
demonise anyone who disagrees with them.
In practice, ‘Hope not Hate’ are
pro-Islam and pro-sodomy. Anyone who opposes those causes is not someone with
whom they respectfully disagree, but one motivated by ‘hate’. Indeed, that is
how Brendan Cox used ‘hate’, trying to use his wife’s tragic death as a
campaign tool. In his eyes, anyone wanting the leave the EU, especially over concerns
about immigration, is driven by ‘hate’.
WHITE HELMETS
The third of Brendan’s three
causes is the Syrian ‘White Helmets’, also known as ‘Syrian National Defence’.
It was not formed by Syrians, but by the UK Foreign Office. Its operatives pose
as humanitarians in Syria. In practice, they are anti-Assad extremist Sunni
Muslims allied with Al Nusra front, the Al Qaeda offshoot.
And in truth, they don’t need a
single penny of our money. Despite claiming on its website not to take any
money from governments, ‘White Helmets’ has received $23m from
the US Government and $40m from organisations funded by George Soros.
The US and Soros only give to organisations which advance their interests; in
this case, the destructive one of regime change in Syria.
AID WORKER
Before being elected to
Parliament in 2015, Mrs Cox had many years of experience
as an aid worker and advisor for global charities. According to
her LinkedIn profile, she spent five years working for Oxfam in Belgium, the
U.S., and the U.K. She was a Strategy Consultant for Save the Children and
NSPCC, as well as a Strategic Adviser for both The Freedom Fund and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Jo and Brendan Cox joined Bob
Geldof’s foul-mouthed tirade against fishermen on the Thames the day before her
tragic murder.
Additionally, she served as a
Patron, Trustee, and Board member for various other campaigns and causes. She
also received the Young Global Leader award in 2009 at the Davos World Economic
Forum, and was a winner of the DEVEX 40 under 40 International Development
Leaders Award in 2012.
INAPPROPRIATE
In September last year, Brendan
Cox left Save the Children amid complaints about ‘inappropriate behaviour’
towards women. He quit after four years as its director of policy and advocacy.
He denied the claims made against him and the charity declined to comment.
The day before her murder,
Brendan and Jo Cox and their two chilldren joined Sir Bob Geldof’s well-oiled,
foul-mouthed flotilla by manning an inflatable against
Brexit-leaning fishermen on the Thames. The pop millionaire’s obscene gestures
in the direction of the fishermen revealed the contempt of the well-heeled
#Remain camp against ordinary people.
ANTI-ISRAEL
Despite a eulogy from the Chief
Rabbi, Jo Cox was no parliamentary friend of Israel. She included goods from ‘Israeli settlements in the occupied
West Bank‘ among ‘unsavoury activities’ which should be
boycotted.
Two days after her death, the
Palestinian Hamas terrorist group (also Sunni Muslim) were on the bandwagon:
‘The Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas has expressed its sincere
condolences to the family, friends and admirers of slain UK MP Jo Cox.
‘The Palestinian people have lost
a friend and a defender of their rights,’ Hamas said in a press release on
Saturday. ‘Cox was … a passionate advocate for the
Palestinian cause.’
The Hamas Charter states its Islamic determination to ‘eliminate’ the state of
Israel, helpfully explaining, in Article 28, that this is because Israel is
‘Jewish’. In Article seven it urges Muslims to ‘fight the Jews and kill
them’. Hamas is the Palestinian governing authority of the Gaza Strip.
Also in the House of Commons, Jo
Cox voted for Doctor Assisted Dying in September last year and abstained on the
crucial vote in November over whether the Royal Air Force should bomb
Islamic State in Syria.
LACK OF DECENCY
Douglas Murray, writing in the
Spectator on Saturday, complained about the
lack of ‘decency’ around Jo Cox’s death.
“‘Remainers’, he said, may try to
say that a vote to stay in the EU is a vote against ‘hatred’ and for ‘hope’ or
the politics of ‘unity’ over those of ‘division’. Such a move would bring about
the triumph of the assassin’s veto in our society – something which could not
only have appalling short-term consequences, but bloody long-term ones as well.
I trust that those campaigning for ‘Remain’ recognise that a victory achieved
on those terms would be the sourest and most divisive victory of all.”
Sadly, Brendan Cox has lacked
that decency at this solemn time.
