The man who assassinated Jo Cox was sent to prison today, probably for the rest of his life. I am glad that the judge was clear that it was a political crime - she was not some random victim but was picked out by a right wing terrorist because of her political beliefs and activities.
When you are concerned about other people's newspaper reading, Bags, you are supposed to Write Letters To The Papers,. Not the ones that you are concerned about, naturally, as they are hardly likely to print them, but to the others, where the readers will be equally concerned. If you are up-to-date and not a technophobe, you could Post On Facebook And Other Social Networking Sites.
And read the DM every day to make sure you don't miss an opportunity to point out yet another racist/fascist/misleading/biased article and bemoan how the hoi polloi are being led astray!
Anya is correct. Psychopathy is not a recognised psychiatric illness, but a personality disorder. Peter Sutcliffe was sent to Broadmoor after being diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, which is a recognised psychiatric illness.
No idea Jalima, I would think if the man had received treatment the press would have found out.
Anya states a psychopath is not mentally ill, I disagree , why when they comit murder are they placed in secure hospitals . Peter Sutcliffe was declared not mentally ill so stood trial, then spent years in a secure hospital because he was after all mentally ill
anniebach you may have met psychopaths and not been aware of it. Some (not all) psychopaths can seem very charming. Was Mair diagnosed as a psychopath?
He apparently sought help for his depression just before but that is different (he did not get the help immediately).
There are more people who buy the DM than every other paper apart from the Sun. They are given the impression that the murder of an MP is not important enough to put on the front page. They are not given the judge's summing up, so that is not considered important either.
In the month following her death 50,000 tweets by 25,000 separate people celebrated her death. Not sure how many of them are DM readers, but I really think you should be concerned about the direction this country is moving in, and who directs those people to think the way they do.
Q: The thread is not about the DM, bags, but if you had read the first few posts, you would have realised that Jess mentions the DM coverage in her next post after the OP. Is that a problem for you? A: No.
Q: Do you only read the Times? Telegraph? A: No.
Q: Are you not concerned about what the majority of people read in their newspapers? A: No.

Be very careful what you say. For example 'depression, you may have heard of it' .... how do you know that Daphne has not suffered depression herself, or someone close to her has possible suffered?
Just think before you post sarcastically of the pain you might be inflicting or stirring up.
