Today in the UK a member of parliament was assassinated as she was going about the business of her country. Jo Cox, MP was doing what she was elected to do by her constituents and then her life was over. It reminds me of former Rep. Gabby Giffords of Arizona who was shot during a meeting with her constituents. Giffords survived and has gone through months of rehabilitation. Cox was a rising star on the national scene in the UK but more importantly she was a wife and mom and human being. It appears she was murdered by an extremist which should put everyone on guard. I mourn for her family, friends and constituents. People should love people more than politics.

This is so shocking and terrible. I feel for her husband, children and her family.

This was a truly tragic story that has affected us very deeply here in the UK and I am glad you are interested in it and writing about it in the US as well. She was a wonderful humanitarian and campaigner it was probably this that got her killed. That she leaves two such young children is really heart breaking and the whole incident raises serious issues about the safety of public figures in the UK and the US as well. I will be writing about this in my blog tomorrow.

I love your country although I have never been there. It is ancestry and awesome. Without the UK we wouldn’t have Shakespeare, Doctor Who or Harry Potter.
