Regardless, rather embarrassing display and some people should have a serious conversation with themselves. I do think that Thatcher was/is very much overrated as a pm, but celebrating the demise of an old woman is sick.

Fair enough. But he chose to get personal.

And let himself down with the "biased selective left" bit. It always weakens an argument when someone says the left do this, or the right do that. It shows ... er ...bias.

So the left would set up and embrace a memorial march/street party/pajama party for Lee Rigby?

That's not my point. My point is about stereotyping particular groups of people that you don't like. They are individual people and they don't *all* do anything or *all* have any group view on things. It weakens an argument that might actually have some sound points in it by showing that the person making the post is being affected by their bias against particular people. And there's no point saying "but the left do it". Lots of people do it and I've no attachment to "the left".

Your view point is indefensible, so why do you try to defend it with weasel words? the usual biased selective rubbish one expects from the biased selective left.
Only recently`certain' countries did far worse than Trump, and banned Israelis from entering their countries, why did we not see street marches, and protests over that? Face facts, if it had not been for the US assistance in WW2 this country would have become a Nazi province, and then we really would be seeing disgusting racial behavior in every country they took over, but now selective, biased idiots want to ban the US`s democratically elected leader from coming to the UK. Why weren't they demonstrating when the leader of China visited the UK? China has a far worse human rights record.

The fk are you on about you blithering moron?

What you've just vomited onto the page has nothing whatsoever to do with the subject in hand.

No need to get all angry and emotional this is just an internet forum, just because you cannot answer the question, or perhaps more accurately, you can answer the question regarding the double standards and biased / highly selective actions of the left, but don't want to give it. because it will make you look like someone who supports double standards, bias, and the highly selective view points of those who lean to the left. Given your foul language, you might want to re visit the posting titled `Are the left more intolerant of others views? From your reaction it would seem that, yes they are, wouldn't you agree?

What you said may or may not be true. The point is it has nothing whatsoever to do with the thread subject. Have you actually read the article linked in the OP? Would you describe the Royal Family (who are backing the Big Lunch project) as 'lefties'?

I don't think it's a wise move by Cox's husband to hijack the Big Lunch thing but I really don't see how your view, that if someone protests or raises awareness of one thing they automatically have to do so for everything else, holds any water.

Also, for what I hope is the last bloody time, I AM NOT A LEFTY. That your own position on the political spectrum may be so far to the right (or alt right) that you view everyone else as 'left' is really not my problem.

Surely the point is that any such 'party' would be something that Lee Rigby's family might want to set up? You know, rather like Jo Cox's family…

It doesn't have to be a political thing or a left v right thing.

Yep.

Some of the comments are just... sad. Just entrenched and small minded left/right bullst.

[Mothersruin]

Apologies, it's plainly obvious that Cox's partner is politicising her death for his gain. I understand he has left leaning tendencies?

And I've said several times that I think it's a poor move on his part. But you are not in a position to know his motivation with any certainty and his politics do not make him 'evil'.

Agreed, however, I'll take a stab at his motivation and the move is typical of the militant left.

I never said evil, sad maybe.

Whether his motivation, whatever his politics, he does appear to be trying to politicise her death beyond all reason. Time will tell.

Is he 'militant'? I'd put both of them more in the Blairite mould.

Her death was political. Sitting MPs are not murdered very often.

The person who murdered her sought to politicise her death at his hands.

I'll take a husband trying to come to terms with that as being the far less distasteful one.

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 are of course spot on when it comes to leftards, skilled manufacureres of double standards and levels of hypocrisy fascist in their intensity.

Well, the left are a bit less violent than the right.

Best point.
