As a Scot, I object to that - there were no Brits involved - it was the English.

Where's that vile guy that spent the last two days saying "prove he's a leftie!" Where are all the clowns that try to obsfucate and deny he was a left-winger?

No. The highest profile political assasination in the USA for decades deserves to be more than a 48 hour flash in the pan news topic.

As for Skye Valadez - I'd be handing myself in if I were innocent. No way I'd be walking the streets knowing the Feds and/or American public was looking for me.

Can I ask the "left wingers" what they are trying to achieve on this thread? One guy has posted 40 times "how do you know it's a leftie." And several more have joined in with that fatuous point. It's safe to say that whoever shot Charlie from 200 yards was not a fan. Surely you can agree that? Anyway - what are you trying to achive? Are you just plain terrified that when the guy is caught he's a card carrying Democrat?

Yet another delirious apologist trying to deflect. Next thing you'll be saying it was the Israelis or Trump's inner circle.

Behold. It has begun.

Thread now is - "the shooter hasn't been apprehended, so we can pretend he's not anti-conservative." Just woeful stuff. Woeful.

What's wrong with you? What excites you so much you are arguing like a demented toddler? Do yourself a favor. Write down what you are saying on this thread and read it out aloud. Then go for a walk and contemplate why you have descended to this dark place in your life.

You don't have the wits to troll. Utter stupidity.

I'll tell you something. If the midterms were this November it would be 280/155 Republican. At least. This is a watershed moment. I am not exaggerating- while not on the scale of a Presidential assassination - this is in the same calibre as Bobby Kennedy. A generational mistake by the left.

You're doing it again. You are either drunk or unwell.

I challenge our brigade of brain dead to watch the video before Charlie was assassinated. Thousands of American youths gathered to listen to debate. Then running for their lives. The Left has no idea what's coming down the electoral line. You've just turned every single self respecting white college boy republican. We'll done

As I keep saying this forum is polluted by the mentally ill. Yes, I said the same thing when Mr Pelosi was attacked. And yes, I said the same thing when the lawmakers were killed. That's because I'm not a brain dead psychopath who chooses tonight to go on a festival of blow hard "whataboutism"

What I'm seeing is toe-curling. "Stabbed in the neck on the way home. Shot in the neck for debating. White Americans are being hunted." "Watching that girl cry into her hands 13 seconds before she died, ignored by the four black people closest to her, has radicalized me in ways I thought impossible." I'm not posting the tweets direct. The American left will.not recover from this.

Konstantin Kisin also mentions an invisible line has been crossed. He said this assassination was worse than the attempt on Trump. Charlie was a good-hearted man open to conversation. He sat on a chair in front of thousands of youths who gathered to listen and debate him. He was shot in the neck. Horrendous. If I were the American left tonight I'd crawl under a rock. This is not your time to be smartass*s.

I've read 1000 tweets tonight. The terrifying one said: "The American left didn't realise he was the nice conservative." Between the Ukranian girl and this - the Overton Window has shifted. This shooting will result in the greatest right wing radicalization of American youth in history. This is a political 9/11 on the eve of 9/11.

Okay - let's clarify what the American Left now regards as weak. An American President who sent Stealth bombers half way across the world to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities. V An American President who perpetrated easily the worst evacuation in US history resulting in the unnecessary deaths of US military. These threads, indulging the mentally ill, are turning this subforum into vile cesspit.

False. We have access to US infrastructure banned to every other country on the planet. The implications to US national security of a fracture with the UK are so dire it will never be allowed to happen. Ever.

Fair enough. Now explain the "I have a bomb" at an airport example. Free speech? You can say that without consequence?

They're not "just Met police." They are certificated firearms officers, and anti- terrorist police among other specialities.

Farage is a polemicist. Good polemicists deal in half-truths. Others deal in lies. Farage is in the top 5 influential UK politicians of this century. But the bottom line is - he has failed.

And before my American friends get all self-righteous - let me give you an example of the type of people who get arrested in the UK for social media posts. A pre-teen girl died. A Facebook memorial page was set up. A troll posted false child sex abuse messages about the father molesting the girl. The troll - who had a record of targeting memorial pages - was arrested and jailed. Me? I'd have posted his name and address on the Internet. When you read about people being arrested the vast majority are of this type.

Lie. All Aviation police are armed in the UK. The fact is he was arrested stepping off a flight - unusually in the UK everyone arrested on the flight side of airports is arrested by armed officers. Full stop. He was then handed to civilian police. Unarmed. This "stormtroopers" comment is vile and absurd. Now let's go for the real absurdity. He did "call for violence." He says it was a joke. I say it was a bad joke, but still a joke. The 1st Amendment does not allow free speech to extend to shouting "fire" in a movie theatre or "I have a bomb" in an airport. There are limits. Kier Starmer - who I detest - has said we'll need to look at the law again as this was stupid - five policemen for a tweet. However the police have said - and I agree with them - you wrote the law. If we don't respond to threats of violence and they come to pass you will slaughter us at public inquiries. So basically- you either want us to police social media or you don't. Me? I say no. "Policing" social media should be a civilian job and in extremis they should call in the police. Asking the police to do it is just absurd.
