As for the type of people who take jobs at charities earning themselves £160,000+, well I'm sure the exact same thing could be said.
It was the Chief Exec who was on £160k but I don't suppose Brendon was far behind. That's one hell of a lot of chugging, sod the children seems more like it.Apparently a lot of displaced Labour types moved into senior positions in NGOs when Winky lost the 2010 election so were well placed for a bit of (well remunerated) Government bashing.

The whole deification thing of Jo Cox is bizarre, I guess it's a consequence of the polarization of the country after the referendum and the desire of some to exploit that.
All feels a bit distasteful though.
A junior MP who was unknown nationally until the loony murdered her, it does smack of 'promising footballer' syndrome and the husband has a fairly obvious agenda.All feels a bit distasteful though.
Her deification has annoyed me.
She was an ardent remainer who wanted to bring in more refugees, yet her own constituency voted leave, so she clearly wasn't the perfect MP she's been portrayed as.
In the recent vote on Article 50 she would have more than likely voted NO, against her party and her constituents wishes.
Those that did that have been pilloried by the press and public, but you can't speak ill of the dead can you...
The general consensus is that her husband is pretty loathsome, but she must've have shared his values and outlook, to be happily married to him.
On the anniversary of her death he should be taking their children away for the weekend, perhaps with his and Jo's parents, somewhere quiet to escape the inevitable media circus in order to remember her with dignity in private.
Instead, he will be all over the news in the weeks prior, being paid for interviews , railroading The Big Lunch, and foisting his children into the limelight and pushing his political agenda at every turn.
He and his '2 days of national celebration' can do one as far as I'm concerned. I only hope the kids come through it reasonably unscathed.

Do you think he is looking for a spot on a Z list celebrity TV show ?She was an ardent remainer who wanted to bring in more refugees, yet her own constituency voted leave, so she clearly wasn't the perfect MP she's been portrayed as.

I have every sympathy for the man and her family because of her untimely death.
However, he is a left-wing political activist, and as such I won't be partaking in any event he organizes.

Lee Rigby would be just as deserving for memorial, if not more so in my eyes, but I doubt this guy would be organising anything on his behalf.
Agreed. but this is just another example of the liberal lefts high level of bias and selectivity, when it comes to public/street demonstrations.Where they cherry pick and choose who and what they will demonstrate/party for.
No demonstrations, or street parties, against those who practice FMG, and who treat women as worse than second class citizens, or advocate the whipping of women in public, or the stoning or throwing off of buildings of gays.
No demonstrations or street parties against leaders of regimes with appalling humans rights records, or known acts of terrorism.
No demonstrations or street party`s held for Lee Rigsby, killed by religious terrorists, who tried to hack his head off in a London street
Yet mention the words Trump or Brexit, and democratically held elections, and certain highly selective individuals are frothing at the mouth to get out on the streets and protest for all they are worth.
This is why no one with a brain, and a memory takes any notice of the biased highly selective dupes.

You're a very angry man aren't you? While I am ambiguous as to the merit in this plan by the late MP's husband, it is only fair to point out that he was not married to anybody or anything that you list in your diatribe above. As such, he's hardly compelled to campaign about them. Where they cherry pick and choose who and what they will demonstrate/party for.

Oh, and it's Lee Rigby. Rigsby was the character in Rising Damp.

What's the odds on Brendan standing for MP in his deceased wife's seat at the next general election? He'll cash in (literally) on the sympathy vote. Odious little man.
Unlikely unless ex-actress and now our constituency MP Tracy Brabin quits. We copped Cox on a woman only shortlist too, so even then Brendan Cox would have to fight that. Having said that, woman-only-shortlists never stopped Jack DromeyTTwiggy said:
