Who murdered Jo Cox?

It is sometimes said that nothing happens by accident.  Nevertheless, we do not have to delve too far into history to find examples of events which appear not to have been orchestrated.  Consider two momentous events in the history of western Europe: the English reformation and the French revolution.

The English reformation began in 1534 when Henry VIII abandoned the Roman Catholic Church, and England officially adopted protestant christianity.  The main reason for this appears to have been the refusal of the Pope to allow Henry to divorce his wife.  Henry wanted to divorce his wife because she had failed to provide him with a male heir.  She was pregnant many times, but produced only one child that lived, and that one child was a girl.

The French Revolution describes a series of events which began in 1789.  It appears that there was a lot of political unrest in France in the years leading to the revolution, but it appears also that the main cause of the popular uprising of 1789 was a hail storm which destroyed crops in many parts of northern France, and particularly in the vicinity of Paris.  As a result, the citizens of Paris were short of food, and this shortage of food prompted many of them to rebel.

In short, a major event in European history took place because of one woman's reproductive difficulties, and another took place because of inclement weather.

As I write we are just two days away from the referendum on Britain's membership of the European Union, and the major news story in the United Kingdom is the murder of Labour MP Jo Cox.  Jo was not well known, and I cannot recall having heard of her prior to her death.  She was however the mother of two young children.

It is hard to think of any MP whose murder would have affected the mood of the public in quite the same way, and it is not at all surprising that many people in the Remain camp are using her death as a political weapon.  The whole thing has been so convenient for the Remain vote that it is also not surprising that at least some political bloggers are arguing that her death was orchestrated.

It is still early days, and I don't want readers of this blog to leap to any conclusions, but consider these points:

• Early press reports suggested that Jo Cox was attacked after intervening in a fight between two men.  It was later reported that she was set upon by a lone man.
• At least one witness has reported that the killer repeatedly shouted the name of a political party, whereas at least one other witness has said that the killer did not yell anything.
• Jo Cox was supposedly shot three times, but at least one witness has denied hearing any gun shots.
• The man charged with her murder is supposed to have been an avid reader of political material, whereas not one person who knew him was aware of him having any political leanings.
• Video footage of the alleged killer being arrested does not show any blood splashes on either him or his clothing.

Successive governments in this country - whether Labour or Conservative or coalition - have shown quite substantial disregard for the sanctity of human life, and it would not surprise me at all if it transpires that the establishment sacrificed one of its own in a bid to influence the outcome of a critical referendum.

But then, successive governments in this country - whether Labour or Conservative or coalition - have also shown quite substantial disregard for the truth, and I wondered at an early stage whether or not Jo Cox had in fact died.
