What do you suggest our leaders do at great moments of sadness? Practice their quick 5 for open mic night at the Red Lion? Vow vengeful and bloody death on all who oppose us? Break down in tears and shout 'why!?' at the universe?

What hypocrisy is he highlighting (other than his own)?

Jo Cox - killed in street doing her job - less than a year ago. The Westminster attack - 2 months ago - yards from the houses of parliament. (An MP helped treat the police who offier who died.) MPs receive thousands of death threats every year.

Then of course there's the irony that the last MP to die before her was killed in a bomb set by a Catholic IRA member. Morrissey, as the son of Irish immigrants, probably remembers certain parts of the UK press expressing anti-Irish sentiment around that time, as all were tarnished by the actions of the few.

"Politicians tell us they are unafraid, but they are never the victims."
