Made a huge point of stating he's a white British man wonder how forthcoming they have been if that wasn't the case

When a political figure is murdered, how can there possibly be 'No evidence that it was politically motivated' ?
@
The police think the British public are stupid. This arrogance is very university based. If it’s not a terrorist incident why are anti terrorism police involved? The main thing, I’m sure according to the police, is that the person arrested is a white British male. The DEI police will see this as a major result.

They don’t want to say it’s politically motivated.. because she was a figure in the right of politics… if she had been HARD LEFT.. THEN they would definitely say it was politically motivated isn’t this just so obvious everybody?
@
So sad to have such a brutal ending, nobody should Ever have to have gone through something like this, especially an elderly woman. May her soul rest in peace, and the murderer be punished with the highest punishment available!
@
The only reason to ever go after someone like her is political there's no other motives to target that specific pensioner and end their lives in such a way
@
So the bloke made a 520 mile round trip from Rotherham to rural Devon to end the life of a politician and was apprehended by counter terror police but there's nothing suggesting a political motivation at this time. Unless they have a very clear and established alternative motive then that statement is very curious.

What a completely uninformative waste of time.
@
It's not the job of the police in a democratic society to "warn" the public not to speculate on social media or anywhere else. Very Orwellian.

Yeah... 'Nothing to see Folks, Just keep obeying without question'
@
Horrible that trust in the Police is destroyed. They may be telling the whole truth but we can’t have trust in that. A very great deal has been lost I’m afraid.
@
If it was a left wing politician who was murdered they would say it was political and the perpetrator is a white far right and the murder was politically motivated

No wider threat…so CLEARLY it is her politics.
@
Did we really have to watch a screen of 'nothing' for 39 minutes???
@
So Basically told us F.ALL!

We cannot trust the police. Or the mainstream media.

No law has been.passed to stop us thinking. Until there is one, we should continue to think.
