[cazzer]

Don't know if its already been posted.
Couldn't find it anywhere.

Anyway...stabbed in the chest by a 21 year old.

[okgo]

Labour MP?

Dead?

No not dead, injuries are not thought to be life threatening.

Stabbed in the stomach sky are saying while holding his surgery.

Labour MP. I was almost as amazed by the size of his majority in the recent election (East Ham)

27,800 !

[dilbert]

Wiki says it was a 21yo woman, and it's not life threatening.

[10 Pence Short]

Apparently David Cameron has offered the woman a seat in the House of Lords.

[cazzer]

Bit vague....report says stabbed by man...woman arrested....

24 hour rolling news for ya.

[Don]

Poor bugger.

I hope he makes a full recovery quickly.

[Jasandjules]

Oh dear. Much as I hate the Liebour Scum, still doesn't mean they should be stabbed. Some of them should be shot mind.......

[zax]

That name takes me back! 1999? IR35? At least the attacker doesn't seem to have been a disgruntled IT contractor...

Is he the funny looking chap? wouldn't look out of place in "that" Lib Dem photo?

Stephen Timms ... wasn't he the broadband/internet minister person, the one responsible for the travesty that is the stealth tax on phone lines and the Digital Economy bill?

Not funny. He had the largest majority of any MP. He, unlike many, makes himself available to his constituents at any time, probably why he gets so much support.

And no, I'm no Noo Labour supporter.

Just shows the state of this country, 21 year old woman apparently makes out she's gonna shake his hand in his surgery, then stabs him.

No wonder some of us want the rope back.

I've worked with him and he's a nice guy. I hope he recovers soon.

Thought so, couldn't this crazed woman have come along a few years ago :/

Surely knives are far more convenient?


I wonder if she was a nutter or some bint he'd been banging.....or both. I do hope he recovers though, being stabbed is not that nice I'd imagine.

I don't suport Labour...BUT I certainly hope the chap makes a swift and full recovery. Ignoring his policies if someone intends and is standing and running as an MP acting for the benefit of people this should not happen.
